Birmingham 1970s
These photographs were taken at various times in the 70s. The Jewellery Quarter set were taken together. The Snow Hill Station ones were taken shortly after its closure in 1971. The man on the platform is my then housemate the late John McConnell. The ironic Windolene Sparkles image was feature on the cover of Broadside Magazine and the equally ironic shot of the BSA motorcycle works being demolished probably featured in the magazine too.
