This new collection of old photographs and postcards takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the Small Heath and Sparkbrook areas of Birmingham. Both mainly working class suburbs, during the twentieth centaury they formed an important industrial centre with companies like B.S.A. and Allday & Onions making a vital contribution to the war effort in the 1940's. However this also made Small Heath a target for Luftwaffe bombers which led to much tragedy and devastation. Images of people at work are complemented by scenes depicting the leisure activities of Small Heath folk, from shopping on the Coventry Road to watching Birmingham City play at St Andrew's.
