Striding out
My original comment for this photo, written thirty-three years ago, was "Dilapidated property in Coventry Road". If I've got my bearings right, this rank of surviving (but apparently closed) shops is on the north side of Coventry Road in Small Heath, Birmingham. Posters advertise gigs by Ralph McTell and local boys Black Sabbath, among others. The furthest building on the right (with a lighter façade) is a pub on the corner of Bowling Green Road. The vacant plot over the road on the left is where a police station used to stand, according to contemporary street maps. Photograph taken in autumn 1981, possibly November.
