It took me ages to work it out Lyn, (the angle of dangle for Wheeler Street..lol ) but I think Ive finally sorted it and matched a today view, my how its all changed !! I'm thinking that the footpath through the grassed area going by St George's Church now, possibly and roughly follows where...

Shady, I don't have any info for you I'm afraid but just wanted to say what a smashing photo it is. Keegs, another great photo, thats how I remember it too. Thanks for posting them both.

moss, thanks so much for posting the photo,..it's a great picture. I am a little confused by the caption attached to the photo though because of the Gt Hampton Row street sign position..am I right in thinking that the row of buildings is actually on New John Street as seen from the corner of Gt...

Hi Stars, thanks for posting and for the clean up :) I'm well thanks, hope you and yours are too.

That is cracking lyn...thanks so much for pointing me in its direction, I've managed to save it (dragged and dropped into My Pics) :) and thanks for the build time info too...this is probably going to be the daftest question ever but do you think the buildings in the 1960 photo would have been...

Hi Ian FOFB, would it be possible for you to repost your pictures please?

Yes Lyn, I think you are probably right there !! lol !!

Thanks again for your help Lyn, it is most appreciated :) I noticed Phil's photo was dated 1960 which then had me wondering how old the buildings would have been? would you have any idea please, because I havent a clue how to date buldings.

Thanks for that Lyn, :) I had looked at the photo but not associated it with todays view. I wonder what my ancestor of 1849 would have made of the high rise flats!!

Thanks so much Brian and Phil :) most appreciated ......great photos

Hi KH Brian and mossg, would it be possible for you to repost the missing photos for this thread please :)

Thanks for the confirmation Lyn :)..what a coincidence !! I've just checked out the other end of the Row on Google and I see what you mean.. I noticed on Mike's map that there is a pub on the one corner which I think says The Star and Garter, would you happen to know if any photos are on here...

Thanks again Mike...don't know my left from my right!! Thanks to you also Lyn :) that helped a lot. There doesnt look to be anything left of the original buildings from what I can see on googlemaps, more's the pity !! Im guessing that 129 may perhaps have been between Harry's kebab Hut and the...

Thank you so much Mike :) ... most appreciated. Am I right in thinking it is Brearley Street on the left ?

Hi folks, Ive just discovered in the 1849 Whites Directory and Gazetteer of Birmingham that an ancestor of mine had a Butcher's shop at 129 Gt Hampton Row...I've had a look on Old-Maps but I can't work out where it would have been especially as the enhanced zoom isnt available now and my...

Great photo Mike ! I see this thread was started in 2009 and since then this hospital has been discussed on another thread, so to anyone with an interest you might like to also look at https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=39274&p=442520#post442520

Hi mayne-knott, I believe Ashley Street was previously named Nelson Street South and it ran between Bristol Street and Sherlock Street and lay inbetween Wrentham Street and Benacre Street. Only Wrentham Street remains today though. It's junction with Bristol Street could possibly have been...

Hi Phil, Yes, I have seen a map where it is'nt marked too and although I know the location of the building well, I never knew the name of it as I mentioned before. It was only when I was looking at your photo that I thought I recognised the shape of the building and then I compared it with what...

Carolina, Ive added the map to my previous post, Have we spoken of our Abel Taylor's before ? I will PM you to save going off topic.

Hi Carolina, No worries :) I did a bit of research for The Clock Pub recently and I believe Lyndon End was part of Bickenhill at one time, as far as I can remember, but it is actually in the opposite direction to the Airports, it is roughly where I live, just up past The Three Horseshoes...
