Old street pics..

International Co-operative Day is an annual celebration of the co-operative movement observed on the first Saturday in July since 1923 by the International Co-operative Alliance. taken from Wikipedia .....The photo in question looks like it was taken in the 1920's just by looking at the head wear of some of the girls.....biggest question now , is where was it taken ?....
Imteresting picture. Did Birmingham police have spikes on their helmets, if so, when?
 
The giveaway signs should be the 3 small windows on the pub and the ornate support (next to the M of Mitchells).
I have looked through all the pictures I can find of Aston pubs and the only 2 that come anywhere near being a match are:

The Royal Oak at Pritchett Street

and

The White Horse on Victoria Street

Insufficient detail on the photos to pick out the ornate support though. Very intriguing.

Is this going to be another 'where is this No. 8 bus' ?

The White Horse is an Atkinson House

The pub on the corner of Montpelier Street was the Cottage of Content the shop on the other corner was a grocers shop the Bakery was on the corner of Long Street. The Railway a Davenports house was further up Kyrwicks Lane. The barber next to the old bakery premises was R Winnet (Ronnie) I think as I never used him, the chip shop was "Ickies" a W.Hickman who had the shop as long as I can remember he must have retired, packed it in or died in the early 70's because after then it had new owners.
