A History of Moseley Village offers a captivating glimpse into the history of Moseley, providing the reader with a visual representation of the area’s intriguing and chequered history.

Drawing upon an eclectic collection of over 200 photographs, Norman Hewston presents the reader with an insight into Moseley’s past and present life. Although views of thriving High Streets, vanished buildings and well-known houses are included, the emphasis throughout is on the people who were born, or settled, here.

Browsing through the photographs, the reader will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or charity shops. Green fields have been transformed into industrial estates, houses or ring roads.

Many poignant memories are given a new lease of life, offering a trip down memory lane for some; for others this charming book will be a voyage of discovery.
