This fascinating selection of more than 180 photographs traces some of the many ways in which Small Heath & Sparkbrook have changed and developed over the last century.
The bustling suburb of Small Heath is shown here during Edwardian times with shops such as the giant Small Heath Drapery Warehouse lining its busy streets. Several pictures show the local tram services, with two taken when the new electrified tramway was being installed in 1904/05. One of the most remarkable events that Small Heath experienced was the tornado of June 1931, and four photographs illustrate some of the damage this caused. There's also a view of bomb-damaged houses in Oldknow Road. Other pictures cover the length and breadth of Coventry Road and Green Lane, with many more minor streets included, among them Cyril Road, Langley Road, St Oswald's Road, Dora Road, Mansell Road and Armoury Road.

Resulting from research into the needs of teachers arising from the revised syllabuses for GCSE Geography, and focusing on topical issues throughout the UK, this is one of a three-book series of supplementary topic books providing a range of detailed case studies, enquiries and decision-making exercises. The other two pupils' books cover Europe and the world, respectively, and there are teacher resource packs which correspond to all three.
