This picture from 1981 is of Wolseley Street near the junction with Garrison Street. The scene is one of inner city change, old streets are being demolished in favour of new development. Tightly packed tunnel and back and back-to-back houses that were built in Victorian times to house factory workers near to their place of employment are being replaced by more spacious semi-detached and town houses with central heating and better insulation. On the left earth is piled up where houses have been demolished, this was needed to stop travellers from occupying the site with their vans and caravans whilst they stripped any metal they could find from the soon to be demolished houses, the fact that gas and water could still be connected never deterred these pests. Class 116 has completed it's work on the Cross-City line and is crossing Garrison Street on the way back to Tyseley.
