Does Anyone Know Where This Is

[aston lad]

I have been asked if I know where this photo has been taken, I am sure its one of Ray Griffiths but not sure, I think it could be Berners Street in Lozells, thank you

Would like to help Aston lad but sorry don't know. Will ask Pete in the morning as he lived at the top of Witton Road not too far away. Good luck. Jean.

Ta Lyn......you could be right about being one of Ray's, like most of us on here I have all or very close to having all the ones he posted some years back now, I thought it may be a Phylis Nicklin's photograph, so I check out her section on the late Keith Berry's site, but it isn't there either unless I missed it, I am not sure if all of her photographs are on there, I was sure there was quite a few more than what are being shown, Someone will put me right on the photo I posted, its just bugging me to where it is....I think its Lozells area, but at that time it could be anyhow within Birmingham inner city districts .....thank you again John

I myself think it is the one before Berner street the one with the pub on the corner I think it was the cross guns
Just as you turn off wheeler street and around on to Gerrard really I should recall that rd as I was responsible for the pub window that had lead lined windows
Until I actually broke it around 1970/1 and the actual window I broke was on that very street you turned into
I lived in berners street next to the old school and five houses from the pub I wrote on this forum about these pubs way back seven or so years ago
And I think it was another lady member which I think it was jean I did one or twice agreed to meet in there just around the very last week the pub was closing down
Failing to be correct even those I am sure even if I am wrong on the street picture alteritive its the one more or less across the other side of lozells red
Facing this street I am tni king about as I cast my mind back to Berners street I am sure its not Berners. Street best wishes astonian
