Friday Photo by Karen Strunks

Well, today I bring you a photograph of a picture of Birmingham. My car boot loving Mother picked this up at a car boot sale for £1.50 – she loves a bargain!

We can see the spire of  St Martin’s church in  the background. I am not sure which era this exactly – 1920′s or 30′s perhaps? What do you think?

It’s a time of steam trains, trams, cars and can you spot the horse and carriage? A bygone era.

Our New Street station is going to be given a make over in the next few years and by about 2015 we shall have a brand spanking new train station. You can read more about the development plans on the Birmingham Gateway website.

Have a great weekend :)
