Snow Hill (the Road)

I am having a little difficulty orientating myself with this photo. This is mainly because I don't remember a Midland Bank in that area. I remember Lloyds Bank and the Post Office. Is that Priory Queensway going off to the right? I don't actually recognise the buildings. I know that the Kennedy memorial, or part of it, was moved to Digbeth but I think the railway mosaic was just destroyed.
Edit Sorry I was confusing St Chads Circus with Colmore Circus.
