Photo Gallery of the River Rea (Part One)

February 11, 2024
Captioned on the reverse “Fordhouse Lane 28 Feb 1929”.

Several photographs of the River Rea were deposited at Stirchley Library several years ago. Many are mounted and possibly came from an exhibition put on by the “Engineers Dept.” of Birmingham City Council. Many have no description of which part of the River Rea that they depict, or the year that they were taken, so if anyone has any information, please contact Friends of Stirchley Library.

Captioned on the reverse “Bridge Repaired by New Bridge – Rea at Second Avenue” and stamped “ENGINEERS DEPT”. Undated.
