Date:1962 - 2005 (c.)
Description:This article, by Norman Bartlam, is from the excellent local history magazine "Brew 'Us Bugle". The caption reads: "This was the corner of Monument Road and Icknield Port Road as it looked in 1962 and as it looks today from the same spot. The curved building with the impressive entrance is the Municipal Savings Bank which was built in 1924, al though the bank operated from there since 1919. The swimming baths can just be seen in the distance. Hickman's greengrocery shop and Landon's are two of the other shops. Hickman's moved into premises on St Vincent Street and finally closed down on Christmas Eve 2000. The modern building which replaced these is Ladywood Fire Station. This part of Monument Road is now a dead end leading into the carpark of Ladywood Arts and Leisure Centre, formerly Ladywood School. Ladywood School (1972-1990) was built to replace Osler Street School.
