69 Bromsgrove St

The street suffered bomb damage during the Blitz. This image from the Library of Birmingham Archives shows the business of J P Udal. Could someone identify the number of the business please. Viv.

So the sign for Udal’s business was a rear access to their premises on Pershore Street. Pity, but thanks Mike. Viv.
 
There are a few glimpses of Bromsgrove Street’s past. There’s the former Rose & Crown pub at the junction with Lower Essex Street (From 1958 it changed use to become the trades union Unity HQ). A very imposing building which must once have also served as an Hotel above the pub.

There’s a few more buildings at the junction with Henstead Street (the Diskery 99-101) which look to me to be late Georgian, early Victorian. Next door is the Wellington pub - Victorian. Images from Google Streetview.
