Yes J. lyons was a great place and it was tragic when they demolished Galloways Corner, lovely buildings.First two are the buildings going from Colmore Row to New Street encompassing Galloways Corner. Demolished 1970. Vividly remember going into the J Lyons Cafe - looking out to the statue of Queen Victioria. Viv.
That's the Boys Brigade Band, if you look closer you can see their badge on the drums and the Air cadets wore berets nor side caps....if that helpsThink the band in the second photo of post #52 is an air cadets band. AFV = “Air Force Cadets”. Viv.
