So this is Mosley and Mosley market all the images in this post are black and white and some colour images as well . Mosley is based in the west midlands.

Moseley itself developed around a Victorian shopping area known as Moseley Village. Moseley Hall was rebuilt in parkland in the late 1700s and rebuilt by 1795 after being set on fire during rioting in 1791. It was donated in 1891 to the City of Birmingham by Richard Cadbury and now forms part of Moseley hall hospital.

This is what they call the farmers market in Mosley.

Between 1850 and 1910, Moseley developed from a rural village into a fashionable suburb, stimulated by the new railway line and trams linking Moseley with the centre of Birmingham. Large country estates were split up and sold off for housing developments. Fine Victorian houses were built, many in the arts and crafts style. The largest estate to be developed was that of Moseley Hall although the Hall itself still survives and is now used as a hospital. The lake and surrounding parkland also remain thanks to a group of local residents who formed the Moseley Park and Pool Company to save it from development. Several relics of Moseley Hall have been retained and restored, namely the Dovecote and Cowshed at the entrance to the drive and the Icehouse within the Park. Since these high quality Victorian developments Moseley has suffered from the gradual infilling of land, the conversion of larger houses into multi-occupation or institutional use and some demolition and replacement with smaller houses and blocks of flats. To prevent further destruction and damage, Birmingham City Council has established two Conservation Areas in Moseley to help preserve this historic environment.
