Methodist Church

Before the conversion of the Bristol Road tram routes the 23 single-decker bus service operated between West Heath and Northfield The Northfield terminus was in Borrowdale Road which gave the Allen's Cross Estate feeder bus route. 2249 (JOJ 249), one of the 1950-vintage Leyland 'Tiger' PS2 is with Weymann B34F bodywork, stands at the triangular island in Frankley Beeches Road facing the Black Horse public house on 10 June 1952. Behind the bus is Northfield Methodist church. (G.F. Douglas)

Baileys, Frankley Beeches Road

This is my Granddad, Christopher Bailey, in his Northfield shop (c.1969) It was a grocers, come butchers, come sweet shop, and was on the small parade on Frankley Beeches Road, opposite the Black Horse Pub and where Sainsbury's is now. He owned it until the early eighties I think. Does anyone remember it? (John Bailey)
