Snip from The Practical Engineer Magazine - 27th January 1888...

I just came across this on another site..... "The Royalty Cinema in Harborne, Birmingham, was designed by celebrated picture house architect Horace G Bradley during the first great wave of cinema building and opened on 20th October, 1930. " So the photo's in posts 12 & 29 must have been taken...

Sorry Viv only just realised you had already posted it earlier, must get my eyes tested. The photo looks 30's or 40's to me. I wish there was something in the photo to suggest a date. May even be older with the sepia tone however that may be misleading. There does not appear to be any road signs...

I hope this may help, maybe the premises in question is the shop to the far left of the photo with the cinema in the background. It shows The Vine Inn in the middle and also what would be Happy Harry's gates on the left. There is no signage on Happy Harry's so I would presume this photo was...

Nick, the picture I posted was sent to me a few years ago. I believe it was from a pictorial history book of Harborne. Unfortunately there are many such books published so can't give an actual source, perhaps someone may be able to enlighten us on this. I have often found inaccuracies in some...

I don't know if it will help however here is a picture of 302 Harborne High Street......

Interesting snip from Wireless Word magazine, 11th November 1922. Although not named I believe the Mayor in the photo is Sir David Davis, listed as Lord Mayor 1921 - 1923.

Dennison's advertisement of December 1915.

I came across this amusing however very dangerous set up in a old copy of Practical Mechanics Magazine, June 1937. Thank the Lord we now have modern Wiring Regulations in place. I am sure this is obvious, but please, don't try this at home!

Congratulations to all who took part and especially to those at the top Curly, Elmo and Guyarab. What impressive scores. A big thanks must go to Keiron for all his effort, time and trouble to assemble such a fantastic quiz that I am sure many have found enjoyable and at times frustrating. I...

This is a good account of William Murdock - Locomotive Pioneer and Inventor of Gas Lighting.

Here you are Mike, Platinum service described by National Express west Midlands.... Our new Platinum buses will soon be arriving for our Sutton Coldfield to Birmingham services. We're bringing more Platinum buses to our network very soon, in addition to the arrivals of Platinum on our 126 and...

I was thinking the view through the rear of the bus looks more like this area of the building.

There seems to be something visible through the back window of the bus, lower part of the buttress's Maybe? If they are buttress's then they would be in the right place for the church. These maybe..... Also visible is the roof of a car. Waiting at the traffic lights possibly?
