I can't find anything for B.G. Metals, it's apity there's no name for the cafe.
They are lovely photos, I have a feeling they are Ladywood too, lyn!

There is a thread headed Kellys directory 1973, post 11 has this photo and a full description, dates etc. I knew I had seen the picture before. But I found the answer using Google. I am not clever enough to be able to cross reference it more easily. If you put in Kelly's 1973, the Post concerned is halfway down the second page.

I am wondering if the school is Little Green Lane School. The view, looking to the right showing the building with the lower roof reminds me of LGLS from the Little Green Lane entrance. Perhaps there is a photo on the Forum of LGLS which could help confirm this. Then thought maybe BG could be Bordesley Green Metals... just a thought.

If it is Little Green Lane School, it could place BG Metals in Cattell Road.

There is a B.G. Sheet Metal Co at 95 Vittoria Street. Founded in 1960s.
