Moving to the Mill proper and now very run down - trees growing out of it and much of the roof missing . seen back in the 1989 when it was still held together, we can see the former delivery tower one column of windows from the left which would have been enclosed and held pulley or lift to move...

The next few picture were taken in Cato Street North and are in or near the Old Mill - first is the demolition of a building a few doors down Mainly included as it is been knocked down, it is showing what was there - we can just make out the Gasometers in the background, an old JCB and a few...

Next we move to Roll 10 - this is another roll with a shortage of images - the first half are photos from a calendar that has had pictures cut out - not very good the first real image is the corner of Adderley Street and Ash road and we have the Adderley Park pub, white brick building pretty...

The last picture is rather random but is a group of lads on the corner of Arthur Place with one looking through the gap in the fence on the corner of the two roads. One of those times and locations that would mean something to someone. Summer, long shorts and off out exploring - different times !!

I have a couple of pictures off the end of Roll 7 , not buildings but may be of interests or actually be someone or somewhere that people know. First is a Scout, with an old uniform, hat, cord, neckerchief and long shorts and socks. Seems very proud of his uniform and looks very smart

Last picture, I was not paying attention so we have another picture of the Duke of Cambridge - following on with the old and a new pictures this is a new picture , but again no year. Much changed from the previous photo, and a later design vibe going on - black walls with the striped lines...

This large stone building is the Granville in Granville Street, from the carving at the top of the building it was made in 1923 for M & B , curved topped windows downstairs , square topped upstairs and a carved roof surround. Figures look a little ghostly - added later?

This fine brick building is the Dudley Arms Cape Hill, so many styles on this building with the stone clad entrance, brickwork, brick and stone pillars, carving over windows and inlaid brick eaves too. there is also metalwork around the top of the bay windows on the front.

Next we have a view of a corner pub , this been the Duke of Cambridge in Great King Street, I am not sure of a year but I like the white brick walls, the chimney stacks and the lamp on the corner and the street names on the walls. Moving down the right hand side is a large bay window and we can...

Moving on we now have the " new " Star Inn, much changed from the past I am afraid , the only real link is the curved frontage and roof line . A much simplified layout from previous and the windows have all been made the same size. Dark wood entrances no more etched windows and only a small bit...

Next we have the Old Star Public House in Gooch Street, unusual curved frontage and the various levels of the roofs. I like the ornate swags under the roof line, the various window sizes over the building and the ornate etched windows on the ground floor.

We now move forward to the later version of the Peacock, now a whole different layout - with small M & B plaques , ornate entrance smaller lamps and a small balcony above the entrance too. moving forward to the modern day Streetview has this build still there ( greater minds than me may be able...

Next in the old and new series we have the Peacock Inn on the corner of Darwin Street and Dymoke Street, love the advert on the first and second floors and the way the bay windows have been styled. I like the size of the bracket for the lamp too.

Following on in the old and new theme - this one is slightly different - in the previous photo on the left hand side there is a distinctive house and moving right in the background a clock tower - we have the now cleared site with the same house in the background and the tower still there. I...

The next image has been on the forum some years ago and was taken from a book - this seems to be an original or at least a photo of an original. Full of interest I have it as the site of the Redhill Tavern old building a shop with various adverts from Lyons Tea to Sunlight soap as well as an...

As we are on a run of old and new - so here is the "new " site of The Greet pub on the Warwick Road, I have no date for the photo, but the picture looks to have been taken close to the opening - very much in the M & B style - mock stately home - brickwork, stone window frames gables and a...

Well after the last posts it is with some trepidation that I every post again !! The first image is of the old site of The Greet Warwick Road - I have a poor version of this which has " The Olde Manor Farm " written across the bottom - looking like this is in the middle of no where, I assume...

Wow - well that was a poor post how many road names can you get wrong !! I have two excuses, a) I was following the list and b) I am from the north of the city so these mean nothing to me - apologies from those of you from the south. Can I also thankyou for noticing these errors and the...

Finally we have two for the price of one with the two previous sites showing on one image - old on the left with the new nearest to us, very large site - I wonder how long the " Old " Dolphin lasted

Next we have the " new" Dolphin , brick pillars and iron fencing between, large brick building, big roof with large chimneys -not quite sure of the age or style it is trying to represent - but it is in the Birmingham pub style with many around.
