Description:Having spent time and money on planting trees in the area Birmingham Corporation was keen to see whether or not they were thriving. City Engineers went out in June 1958 some six months after the planting and photographed the trees. So the object of interest in this case was the tree in the centre of the photograph and not the dwellings on Rickman Drive. Luckily of course they captured them too and so we can see the area as it was nearly fifty years ago.
