Old Bob should know this cafe on the A5 dunchurch Bobs cafe
Being a bit younger than most unfortunately don't remember any of the cafes mentioned.
Do remember two cafes from Constitution Hill,both there during the 70s/80s.
Rose's Cafe,and Vi's cafe.Both popular,serving good food to the local factory workers.Think they finished late 80s,or early 90s.Like many areas in the city the demand just seemed to die off.
Yes, I remember both of those but only because I used to pass on the bus on my way to work every day. I never actually went inside. They always looked to be doing a good trade.
Rosa,s cafe in Park St was the best of resent times https://my.bus.photos.fotopic.net/p48406298.html https://my.bus.photos.fotopic.net/p48406294.html
Rosa's café as it was known when it was demolished was on the corner of Fox St & Duddeston Row.
Guilbert Curzon St only went as far as New Canal St and then becme Duddeston Row Dek

I cant find a Duddeston Row in Birmingham.
The Rosa's cafe I am referring to was near Curzon Street Station and the Woodman Pub in Eastside.
It was on the corner of Albert Street and Fox Street (I know this because I took a picture of the street signs).
Do you mean Bartholomew Row which is just along Albert Street from Fox St (where the Los Canerios Spanish restaurant was, the opposite corner from Rosa's)
Wasn't the one in Digbeth called the Lorica or something like that?Never used cafes much during the day myself, good late night cafes in the 70s after the clubs closed were The Tow Rope, and one on Digbeth, by the lights, might have been calle the Manzil, or that might have been the Curry House next door.
