Yes, The Ivy House 72 Soho Road (Kelly's 1967-68)

From 1892

Hi and welcome to the forum.

May be a long shot but on Kelly's 1903 there is a Jones dairyman at 122 Upper Thomas Street

Pedro, I think Smith Street could be a strong possibility, a photo of the Queens Head at 134 Hockley Street from around 1943 could confirm this (assuming the lanterns at the front are the same). Entries to the back2back houses and the area where the young boy is playing seem to fit.

There are (as far as I can see) just 5 distinguishing features, 1. the lanterns on the far left which are most likely the location of a pub. 2. the entrance to a yard or factory (where the young boy is playing). 3. most probably a side street with little traffic. 4. a road/street off to the...

I was checking around Waterworks Street and was unable to find a reference to the tower block there, the sign seemed to say Mormanel Tower, looking at a later date highlighted the 's' in Normansell. It's fascinating that only the lettering was distorted, the rest of the image appeared correct.

Normansell Tower, Waterworks Street, built 1972, demolished 2/9/2012.

I think this aerial view from 1952 shows Aston Hall Road School, please correct me if I am wrong.

Fantastic news Mike, Christmas has come early.

Happy Birthday, hope your day is a brilliant one.

This is an aerial view, I have marked what I think is #50, if somebody has a 1950s map showing house numbers they will be able to confirm this.

I found this reference but which High Street it refers to is not known.

You're spot-on with your location Lyn.

Nice history of Thimble Mill (Rose's Mill).

An amazing discovery Banjo, you have to wonder what other gems are sitting there in the library waiting to be discovered.
