Dist:0.5km<br/>View from Warfdale Road bridge, opposite station entrance. Train approaching from left is a local service from Acocks Green, whilst the train leaving to the right is enroute towards Spring Road and Hall Green. The train approaching will arrive at platform 2 [[[2216357]]], to avoid the points still set for train departing to right. Most services however, do cross over into platform 4 (right-hand track). [[[2458943]]] is now to right of this photo. 30 years ago [[[2216373]]]

Dist:0.5km<br/>I worked for Midland Bank HSBC for 32 years and spent all but the last two in Birmingham Branches. I am photographing all the branches,or what's left of them, as they were when I joined Midland Bank in 1963. The branches all start with the sorting code 40-11 This is the 785 Warwick Road site of the Tyseley Sub-Office as occupied by Midland Bank in 1963. It was manned daily by staff from the parent branch at Acocks Green. It had the same sorting code of 40-11-01 as the main office.
