Within the pages of Birmingham’s Horse Transport , Eric Armstrong takes us on a tour of the city, using images of horses at work to tell the story of the growth of the city’s road transport network. From the city centre to suburbs such as Aston, Birchfield, Bourneville, Handsworth, Harborne, Lozells, Perry Barr, Saltley and Sparkhill he gives us a flavour of a time long gone, when horses, carts, coaches and trams were a common sight on the city’s streets.
