Just had another look at the cinema treasures site I posted in post #26 and the Birchfield Picture House is listed on there too! There's a great photo of the interior. Here's the link. Looks like when this theatre was demolished Woolworths was built on the site. Viv.

My Sister would have been at Canterbury road during these years (Lesley Cook). The postal address where we lived off Perry avenue was 22B and classed as Perry Barr, always remember the phone Number Birchfield 5200.Charlie,
what years were you at Canterbury Road? I was there 1951 - 57, but don't remember being given homework...
