Then and Now

Stratford Road, Birmingham 1967

I have not been home to Birmingham for about ten years, but I have a lot of fond memories of the city. Recently I came across these pictures of the Stratford road in Birmingham. The road is very familiar for me, countless times I have ridden the number 24 bus, driven and ridden motorbikes along this road.  In these pictures there are a lot of changes, but just as many things have not changed.

1. Before class think of some questions to ask me about these pictures.
2. Think of a place in Kyoto that you liked, but has disappeared,  Prepare to tell the class about it.
3. Think of a place in Kyoto that you like, that has a long history. Prepare to tell the class about it.
4. Prepare to tell the class about a new place you like in Kyoto.
