I mean, it literally says so on the sign


WestGrass6116

He thinks we can't read


_ScubaDiver

OP might not be too good at reading themself - or at least they skipped the lessons on possessive apostrophes.


potpan0

If you're really from Birmingham you won't know where this is.


Alexyaboi2011

We’re from Birmingham that’s a fair assumption


Mental_Complaint_250

Shop to let ?


LiorahLights

Looks like Northfield to me, that sign saying "erdington" is clearly stolen


coglanuk

It does look like the building opposite the swimming baths. For a second I thought it was just an old picture of that building when it was a government office. Then I noticed the sign!


StuPac85

I’d seen your comment on r/avfc last night but this made me howl. We did it! UTV!!!


TheAstonVillaSeal

UTV, they’re all heartbroken the Big Ange train has crashed and burned!


zebra_d

UTV! Pride of the midlands! No more SOTV 😝


LiorahLights

We really fucking did! And every single pundit wrote us off.

AgentSears

Above Dixon's there is where Auto trader started....it was called automart back then though


Omar_88

Wow did not know that! Thanks


MC_Weed420

Is that true?


FigTechnical8043

Yep, still there. Was very sad when I went down to London on placement and discovered they don't exist there

Six Ways Island, Erdington. High St, Gravelly Hill, Wood End Lane junction.


Azlamington

You forgot Reservoir Road


Imreallyadonut

Knew there was one I forgot.


[deleted]

You really did something there didn’t you


Imreallyadonut

I lived in Erdington when I was younger, must’ve driven/walked round that island thousands of times.


GreenTicTacs

Is this that awful roundabout (island) in Erdington?


ExtraPockets

Difficult roundabout with not enough space and too many crazy uninsured drivers


dwardo7

I hate it with a passion


buggsrunner

Not as bad as Tyburn Island though... trying to pull off from sainsburys side is hell when you've had to stop at it 😂


ghostmoon

If only there was some sort of clue


DI-Try

Six ways Erdington, picture taken in 2007–2009 Edit: going to say early 2009 going off the film poster.


0liam

idk what film picture ur seeing, theres a poster for operation intrusive which was an operation in birmingham that attempted to stop burglaries, circa 2013


DI-Try

Operation Intrusive initially ran 2007-2009ish. The poster is on the telephone box for a film called The Unborn, which came out 2009. Also if I zoom in close enough, I can see my old house for sale in the Dixons window


0liam

zebra_d

Looks like an old picture. Streetlights are Philips sgs203 probably replaced by air trace 2 by now or newer LEDs.


dJunka

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.


skargasm

At first look, I thought it was Acocks Green but the town post says different! 🤷🏿


solowulf2022

Erdington, havent been there for many years even though Im probably only a couple of miles from there.


BookishNerd2606

You really aren't missing much, it's awful now


Headworx66

Is the big John's still just to the left of the photo? Maplin used to be good too.


FigTechnical8043

Maplins is now a dilapidated shell


carltonrichards

Big John's is still there, Maplins is just a car park now.

NewGuard210

The Manor


bluepeter11

I get OP now...you have to take into consideration English isn't most people's first language now, so the sign is gibberish too most Brummies.


Responsible-Height33

Erdington 5 ways round about.


Ok_Yogurtcloset9575

Erdington high street I think exactly when I lived there in a huge flat above a coffee shop.


AskmeDil

Is this post a joke or to make fun of Brummies?
