Forty years or so ago I picked up this picture somewhere. Forgotten when & why now, but just found it again. Its Labelled "The Smithy", and on the back it says " The Smithy. Chl Brom", which i take to mean Castle Bromwich. apparently it was exhibited at the first Exhibition of the Hall green Photogrphic society in 1934 and Midland counties Photo Exhibition 1934, and is by H.R.Dovey, 79 High St Erdington. It seems to be printed bysome artistic printing process which gives a textured finish that is not glossy, but reflects, which makes it difficult to copy.
Does anyone know where the smithy was? It doesn't seem to be marked on the OS maps.
