Next up is R & B motor company on Glenavon Road in 1970, does seem to have a couple of interesting vehicles inside - Jaguar and a BMW . There is an old style pedestrian crossing sign and is that a drain vent on the left - bit too tall for a lampost I feel.

Seems to have been the Fountain Court until mid 2015. Now an Indian YMCA providing student accommodation. This view is Nov 2015 as the property (still the same usage) is now surrounded by large trees and hardly visible from the road.This is Fountain Court Hotel Hagley Road in 1972, nice leaded windows and a couple of tall chimneys, Rover on the forecourt and interesting brickwork over the downstairs windows and old style wrought iron gates which you don't see any more.

Difficult with so many changes but fairly sure this is the right place. Looks like same brick pillar on the right as well.Finally 11 Witton Road in 1969, nice selection of street signs on the left hand side of the road and are they a couple of Vauxhalls under the bridge? On the right we have the entrance to IMI , with security reading his newspaper and an Evening Mail kiosk and Lloyds Bank blending in.

That was what confused me but it wasn't on the map either.
At a guess I would say twenty years or more. The 'Birmingham wholesale fruit market' is on part of the site now.When did the IMI go from Witton?!
I've not been that way for years.

Really needs to be put in a place on the forum where it can be found easily( In the SteveBhx Pics thread?)
How come OldMohawk can upload a 7.56 Mb pdf file, but I can't?
