Hi Harry, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I've tried a reverse image search on google but it doesn't give any matches. The only hope is that the original poster on BHF can scan the image at a better resolution.

There are 3 shops and then an entry to the court behind, No. 56 is the shop just before this entry. No. 58 (or possibly 59) is set back from the frontage, I couldn't find a similar arrangement on the rest of the street. On the left of the first shop there appears to be some sort of access to No...

Some google views from 2026 (aerial) and RSA in 1924 (formerly Pearsons shopfitters where my dad worked for most of his life). Frontage of Crocodile Works (and possibly more) has been retained and looks to be a very prestigious area.

I'm fairly certain that this photo shows the front of No. 56.

Happy Birthday Mike, I hope you have a good day.

Happy Birthday, I hope the sun is shining for you.

Hi Peetzer, welcome to the forum. Are you aware that No. 235 is still standing? It's the one with the brown door.

This could be a possible location.

A different source has the wedding as 27/12/1830

Welcome to the forum. It looks like Sarah was married in 1825.

Goad's insurance map of 1889.

I think this b&w photo was taken at the top end of chain walk where it meets Lozells Road, this would make the shop on the corner No. 2 Chain Walk, Russell Taylor (caterers), dining rooms in 1955. Looks like the tree survived (next to No. 14) as did properties Nos 14 onwards.
