I think this building, Whitehouse & Co Printers (foundry in the background) is now known as Aston House.

You're not reading all the thread Pete. My post 79 drew attention to the pillar fire alarm.anyone know what that was for
Astoria cleaners
Thanks for the picture of the Golden Cross, sixty yars ago early 1959, I met the present Mrs Davis at a jazz club upstairsLyn's incredible pictures and Pedrocut's post #89 have inspired me to see what buildings remain in this area. As a child growing up in Parliament Street I spent many hours aged 5 or 6 playing 'tracking' in the streets either side of Aston Road North (the streets seemed safer in those days for young children).
At the 'town end' of Aston Road North houses have survived in Aston Brook Street East and Hubert Street although these are barely recognisable with front doors converted to windows and presumably are now apartments with access and parking to the rear. How did they ever survive the destruction and obliteration of the 60s ?
As mentioned in other posts, few other buildings have survived, I have marked these on a map and attached images. What a sad end to this once 'buzzing' area.
you can't get any more extreme than mine. i have a yull Bryner have it all shaved off.Some hair fashions - male and female - are more extreme than a pudding basin cut. So short as to be called soup bowl style.
