A suggestion regarding the removal of the turrets might be for easier maintenance - maybe they let in rainwater?
The children's photo (post 16) mentions the shop. This reminded me that shops that were allowed to be opened on Sundays, in past times, were generally only allowed to sell certain goods. I remember going to a small store in 1954 and being told by the shopkeeper that the batteries (for a portable radio I think) that I wanted were not allowed to be sold on Sundays. Be that, as it may have been, I still got the batteries - and without any fight!!
divy yer. that come in very handy.for us poor folks.Hi Radiorails,
Correct me if I'm wrong but, I'm sure this was the place where both my Mom & Nan used to go to get their Co-op dividend prior to Christmas.

viv i think they are one and same building...not sure but can check...There's a thread here about Lozells Mission Hall. I think the church was built after the Hall. Viv.
could be a clue viv on the notice board saying 57th anniversary which would put the photo taken around 1951This is from the Birmingham Mail archives and it's labelled as Lozells Street Hall, Mission and Chapel. Sorry no date given.

typo error jan.....edited my postDoesn't 1894 + 57 give 1951?
But mission founded 1878. So 1878 + 57 gives 1935 and Oct 27th 1935 was a Sunday.
