Description:This image is from the golden age of picture postcards and depicts Stirchley in its Edwardian hey-day. Its origins as an industrial village are not apparent and it is not yet overshadowed by the gentility of its neighbour Bournville, whose Village Trust will actively reject such streetscapes as this (see <a href="http://www.search.suburbanbirmingham.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?resource=1925">'Stirchley's Communal Buildings'</a>).
