Hurst Street Doctors Surgery?

Hi there,
I posted this under a different threat concerning buildings and got no repsonse, thought I might have a little more luck here! I am ooking ideall for photos, or any working knowledge, of a doctors surgery at 106-108 Hurst Street. In 1901 it was a Surgery run by Robert Wilson Taylor Haddow, who had been in Birmingham (born in Scotland) for some years at that point and continued to be for some years after. I have no idea how long this building was used as a surgery, the rates books for him 1911 indicated house, surgery, stable and yard so it must have been a fair size at that time, not including the residence at 108 where he and his family lived. Any suggestions / comments / memories gratefully received!
 
There seem to be surprisingly few early photos of Hurst St and I think you'd have to be very fortunate to find one of Hurst St that early (let alone a specific location).

Here's a map from 1890. There was a number change at some time (when Lower Hurst St became part of Hurst St) but I've marked what I think became 106-108...

And one of our members has a site that has some info on Hurst St here...
