Brummie yes ! Novice no !
The 'then' pictures are taken from old postcards, the 'now' pictures taken from Google Streetview.
The older of the pictures is thought to date from the 1920's.

Oh Wow
There's my gran and grandad's house. In the early 50's I used to walk down to the shops from the row of houses on the left hand side of the black and white picture. They were about 9 houses up on the left past the row of shops. What memories. Thanks

By the way, they had lived there since 1857 so were probably living there at the time of your postcard. Incredible.
