Re post 217, The original was very murky so I made a copy and tidied it up then posted it. Whilst looking through all the snippets I found the original and it is labelled as "STEELHOUSE LANE, 1800s".

Although I'd seen the Steelhouse Lane photo before, didn't realise the passageway to the left of the Queens Head was called Crusell Court. Unusual name. Maybe it was named after a person of note. Thanks Mike. Viv.

Thanks Stitcher. Could - and often do - look at Phyllis Nickln's 1950s/60s photos over and over again.

For those who don't know the first one is Bradford Street, the second is Deritend or is it classed as Digbeth?) Viv..

A very similar view of Bradford Street, different day, different vehicle. There is a good deal about E. Steiner Ltd, and the dereliction after they closed down.

In my teens I was a driver for Golden Line Private Hire and I clearly remember the Five Ways junction without the large traffic island.

I drove round that corner so many times in lorries, buses and black cabs /

I remember those king pins and bushes in post 229, I must have fitted hundreds of them in my time.

That first photo ( 118742 ) is of the corner of Charlotte St & St Pauls Square. In 1961, I had a mate who's Dad was some sort of caretaker in that building.
