    The kelly's listing for 1967/68 would seem to suggest that you're correct about the flagpole BrummieGeoff.

    Pubs Of The Past

    An aerial view (1951) of The White Swan on the corner of Hanley Street and Cecil Street. Interesting to see the roof of 42-44 Hanley Street being retiled/replaced.

    Pubs Of The Past

    As Mike has said The White Swan disappeared in the 1920s but this aerial view from 1936 seems to show the frontage and other aerial views the footprint of the building. Perhaps the brass founders who in the 30s occupied #184 retained the building after it closed.

    help needed

    Lyn, I found this by reverse image search on Google, I don't know if it's any clearer. I could use AI on it but as you know it is prone to change facial features.

    New John Street West and Great Russell Street

    The 1901 census seems to correlate with the plan above: 350 to 358 then 1 to 16 Ct 47 then 359, 360 assuming the enumerator went up the entry between 358 & 359, houses 1 & 2 would be at the back, then 3 to 14 going anti-clockwise, then 15 & 16 at the back of 356 and 357.
