The school was built on a greenfield site sometime between 1903 and 1914. It has been much extended since then. There is an OS cut benchmark on the brick pillar at the end of wall.

Midland Bank Cotteridge. Sorting code 40-11-40

I worked for Midland Bank HSBC for 32 years and spent all but the last two in Birmingham Branches. I am photographing all the branches, or what's left of them, as they were when I joined Midland Bank in 1963. The branches all start with the sorting code 40-11. This was the 55, Pershore Road South, Cotteridge branch. They had a sub-office at 1398 Pershore Road Stirchley. Both had a sorting code of 40-11-40.
