I personally had two photos taken at Jerome's Studio. This would have been in the late l950's. I am almost certain the studio was in Martineau Street.

Yes Jeromes was in Martineau street, just up from the 33 bus stop on the left l bet all of us of a certain age had a picture taken there....Brenda:)
 
I had one taken i am sure it was at Jeromes and it was put in the window which i found very embarrassing, but i was also secretly delighted. This was in the Great Western Arcade by Rackams........:)Cat

:):) thank you Icarus fantastic name by the way i love Greek mythology,
i,ll see if i can find out more,as you possibly read i always thought it was taken at Jerome's.
when i took it very gingerly apart to copy it said it was,nt. on the back as you,ve seen, you must unless you know the said place have good eyesight? thanks once again regards derek.

Hi Dereklcg.

Actually, my eyesight is very poor, a bit like Mr Magoo :biggrin:, but I thought Cox Street West was fairly obvious at first look and guessed the Stanley bit as I remembered there was a Stanley Studios somewhere in Brum. I searched down Cox Street West in Kelly's 1950 directory (the Studio wasn't listed under businesses) and there it was at 84.

The photo is hand-coloured and I don't remember Jerome's offering that service. Unless the original was done by Jerome and later tinted by Stanley's?

This one was taken at Jerome's around 1941.
 
you are the man icarus.
i thought i could find things out ,but i,d not had to look for that
type of thing,cheers mate, thats a nice photo of you i asume?
you look so familiar,where do you hail from if you don't mind me asking?
thanks again mate regards derek.
