More about this scene

Old Swinford is a suburb of Stourbridge today, which represents a reversal of fortune: the Domesday Book (1086) recorded Stourbridge as part of the manor of 'Suineford'. The scene recorded in this photograph is impossible to find today, so greatly has Hagley Road changed. The charming cottages on the left have either been demolished or modernised out of recognition.
