Dist:0.1km<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 site of the 274 Ladypool Road sub-office on the corner of Chesterton Road. The parent branch was Sparkbrook. The sorting code was the same as Sparkbrook 40-11-30.

Dist:0.4km<br/>At this point Stratford Road is also the A34. The junction with Warwick Road (the A41) is visible on the right, below a poster from the general election campaign that culminated three days previously. This area has a large Pakistani population and there are a large number of shops on Stratford Road serving that community.
