ANN STREET CITY CENTRE

I have spoken to my friend who says that he does not remember when the current building was built as he was working for Lloyds Bank in an office they had in Brindley Place but he used to go to meetings around about 2000 in Colmore Row. He was the one who told me that the part of the building now used by Starbucks was intended to be the banking hall but they got a better offer from Starbucks.
 
The good old RSPCA of 25 Ann Street in 1870 making sure cab horses are looked after in the heat - delivering healthy oat milk !

Crumbs Viv! I didn't realise that oat milk was going then - if only for horses. I thought it was something fairly modern. Just goes to show that there's nothing new ( I find it a bit thick in tea but OK on cereals - a bit like sterra). Wonder what the horses made of it?

Where was No. 25 do you think?
 
Mike posted a couple of pictures on post #141, the second of which he has labelled.

I'd very tentatively suggest that the photograph was taken from the end of the green arrow in the direction it's pointing (map from 1839)...

And looking the other way along Ann Street (from the top of Newhall (New Hall) Street). This time we can see St Phillips in Lines' sketch.
