What's the story of these images John? Hope they're in a Birmingham archive!
Thanks Maybeth. I was on a Primary School teaching experience at Nelson Street School in Ladywood, Birmingham in 1967. The full story can be found here – https://stewartrywriters491689836.wordpress.com
The area was an early C19th suburb that was being redeveloped and one evening I took my Halina 35x and recorded some scenes around the school. I intend to send the pictures to the excellent Ladywood website which is full of the memories of former residents. I suppose these are some of my earliest social-documentary/environmental-portrait images. A pattern that I try to follow even now. I miss these human scale streets.
