Edit - this and post #2, #3 and #4 copied to this thread from another.

Can someone confirm if these 2 photos were taken on the Snow Hill side of the station please?

Photographs are from the wonderful Stilltime Collection website - another little goldmine!!! - a search on "Birmingham" brings back 571 results - very few (if any) I have seen before - www.stilltimecollection.co.uk

I managed to get in via a google search, it's very slow to load mind.

As you say Mark, a little goldmine! mainly transport but a lot of pubs businesses, buildings, places etc in the background of the images to identify.

The first two are in front of the Snow Hill station hotel, some call it Colmore Row but in times past it was Steelhouse Lane as far as Livery Street then Colmore Row to Victoria Square. It was the terminus for Soho Road services (Handsworth, West Bromwich, Wednesbury and Dudley) and had been for the tram services beforehand.
