Hazelwell Lane was cleared several years ago for new developments, one of which was the new Aldi store. Just before the last of the houses were demolished, in 2012, the illustration above was commissioned to capture the street before it was cleared completely. It used old photographs and the surviving houses to depict what it probably looked like in about the 1950s.
So, you can take a little walk down Hazelwell Lane as it used to look.
Further down the road was the Hazelwell Lane Co-Operative Hall which contained offices and had a warehouse at the back and to the side.
After the Ten Acres and Stirchley Co-Operative buildings was a manufactory and a tool makers (tool makers below).
On the other side of the street, walking back towards the Pershore Road, was a manufactory making caravans, called Eccles Caravans. Then the solitary caretakers house and more residential housing.
