The last day of Woolworths, December 2008
Somerfield on the site of the former St Agnes Church, 2008
Cotteridge roundabout, 2008
Cotteridge Church in 2008 - since the mid eighties the consolidated home of the Methodist, Anglican and URC churches, along with various community facilities. The former URC site on Watford Road became old people's flats in the 1980s, and St Agnes became a Kwik Save.
Cotteridge Fire Station - looks pretty much identical to forty or even seventy years ago!
Beaumont Court - the former Cotteridge bus garage which has been sheltered accommodation since the mid eighties when the garage closed.
The canal, looking west from the Breedon bridge - fairly unchanging, unsurprisingly!
The former Breedon Bar - since 2005 flats
The former Barclays Bank - about two months after this photo re-opened as a trendy wine bar and restaurant, La Banca
The Murco petrol station on Pershore Road - formerly the Jet garage
An industrial premises remarkable only for being the former Savoy Cinema, opposite the Breedon Bar
