Bin bags awaiting collection on an icy Pebble Mill Road
Unusually for a large city in the UK, Birmingham doesn't have wheelie bins and still has a weekly rubbish collection. When this photo was taken the refuse collectors were on strike over pay.
My late mother used to take me to Cannon Hill Park as a youngster in the early 50s. I remember being fascinated by the fact that the bed of the River Rea through the park was lined with bricks.
