Brummie yes ! Novice no !
The 'then' pictures are taken from old postcards, the 'now' pictures taken from Google Streetview.
The older of the pictures is thought to date from the 1900's.

Ruskin Hall, Linden Road, Bournville is grade 11 listed. It was built in 1903 and became Bournville School of Art, then an international college, finally a temporary home to the Actors of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. But they are due to move out or indeed have already done so. Anyone know what is happening with this building? It was leased to BCU. But has been listed on property sites.
