    W J Pearson and Sons Limited - Where?

    Well this looks like it might be it - Handel Street near Sneinton Market - the bags might be shopping from the market. This row has been redeveloped somewhat but very similar features? What do people think?

    Well I used to visit Nottingham a lot from the early 80s. I checked Sneinton Market but that is single storey buildings. - checking around there now.

    W J Pearson and Sons Limited - Where?

    That is a good thought - my memory is that it was Brum but it is always possible that it is not.

    Here’s another shot from the same place showing a pallet - wonder if it the markets area. Possibly a street that has been redeveloped?

    I saw that one but I think the one I am looking for is more local to Brum?

    W J Pearson and Sons Limited - Where?

    I’m trying to find out where I took this picture of W J Pearson and Sons Limited. Taken in the 70s. Probably a street running West to East judging by the light and shadows. Also a one way street but with a large lamppost.

    Arthur Street, Small Heath

    Lovely pictures. I have discovered my great grandparents lived at 8 Back of 85 Arthur Street in 1881 - wonder if anyone has images of that part of the street back then?

    New Birmingham 1950/1960 planning booklets

    Yes they only built the Big Peg - originally called the Hockley Centre. Thank goodness they then stopped,

    New Birmingham 1950/1960 planning booklets

    I think I used to have a copy of this. Thanks for posting! Brilliant insight into the pros and cons of the planners ideas.
