My nan from Brum was taking about taking Mary Whitehouse's short hand and typing classes that took place in Corporation street. Does anybody know anything about this??
Was it Lawrence's College (later Pitmans)? If so, please see this link to a specific thread about the college

A journey through time of Corporation Street in pictures
We take a look back at Corporation Street in Birmingham

The photo was taken between Fore Street and Cherry Street. Part of the frontage on the first storey has been changed, the deco-style section having since been removed and a drainpipe installed. Maybe the frontage was damaged during WW2 and replaced/covered over above the shop (Swears and Wells). Not sure it was a temporary cover as it looks like there's been newer brickwork at that spot.
The bus stop (now tram stop ?) is still in the same position today.
