taken 2 years ago, near to Smethwick, Sandwell, England

26-50 High Street, Smethwick
26-50 High Street, Smethwick
This terrace of shops with living space above was built in 1904. The row of gable-ends facing the street and adorned with bargeboards makes a very striking show; the end houses at the street corners are canted (angled) with elaborate pediments topping the facades, and one just can be seen at the far left.
