Has anyone got any old photographs of the High Street Deritend, my interest is due to discovering that John Bartlett and John Bartlett Jnr had premises at Ct 10 High Street Deritend, from 1839 until approx 1901, he was a hop press maker, steel mill maker or malt crusher.

If someone can define where Digbeth and Deritend is, I’m happy to sort out (as far as I am able) the threads/posts that are wrongly labelled. At least on a history forum we should be capable of getting that right !
And I can annotate the threads concerned to define the two areas. Rather than clutter up this thread I’ve started a separate thread called “Defining Digbeth and Deritend”. Viv.
Defining Digbeth and Deritend
Like many others I get confused about the precise location of Digbeth and Deritend.It would help us all if we could be more precise about the two locations. So please put your comments here so that we can arrive at a definition of these two separate areas. Street names would help. Many thanks. Viv.birminghamhistory.co.uk

Thanks for that, I will update accordingly.This photo appears to be dated 1930.
I suggest this is incorrect as the trolley bus, in the background, service did not commence until 1934.
The trolley bus routes (92 - 99) ran until 1952.
Thanks for that, I will update accordingly.
