Next we have another selection of old and new shots of the same site - first is the Old Dolphin Warwick Road, which has a selction of style pushed together- we have the central pub, but to the left is square building with window and door - to the right is a small addition pushed into the...

Next we have The Bear , Warwick Road taken after 1930, fine brick building with a sign showing the "Warwick bear", patterned brickwork around the roofline - leaded windows and brick window surrounds. Note also the fine lamps on the right , On the extreme left you can just make out the edge of...

We now move to Roll 7 - if you are counting you may have worked out that the last roll had less than 36 exposures on it, basically the majority were rubbish images which were retaken and of better quality on Roll . I am also not 100% sure on the accuracy of the photo details - I am sure you...

to close we return to Aston Road North - this time we are looking back down the road to where the last images were taken from. Hard to believe the difference to todays traffic, and I wouldn't fancy the cyclists chances today !!

My notes give the following information on this building - back in 1856 the building was a pub called the Plough and Harrow and stood on the corner of Rea Street and Moseley Street as we can see it is now a cafe / house . Quite a traditional house front on the left and sash windows upstairs...

another random hop across the city and we come to The Anchor, corner of Bradford Street and Rea Street love the large arched windows downstairs with the smaller ones up. Bit of scaffolding on the corner and a striped blind over the entrance.

Edit: posts #1 and #2 copied to this new thread. Next we have a later picture from the one on #1255, this is take in 1990 as opposed to 1989, but a lot changed in a year - this is Great Hampton Row, Nightingale Knitwear - the pub sign has been covered up and the ground floor has been covered...

Next we have a later picture from the one on #1255, this is take in 1990 as opposed to 1989, but a lot changed in a year - this is Great Hampton Row, Nightingale Knitwear - the pub sign has been covered up and the ground floor has been covered in cladding - seems like they are doing well.

Continuing round, we come to The Albion, which is at odds really - Albion - near the Villa and a Courage pub near Ansells!!

Moving to the right slightly , and this photo has a few more of the properties - apologies for the grainy look - sunny day and the picture were overexposed so tried to make them more viewable. Is that the BRMB building at the top with their logo on the side?

We move onto Roll 6 the majority of the images were poor photos of pubs and were reshot on roll 7 so I will come to those later . The first few images are Aston Road North in 1990, not exactly old, relative to what else we have been looking at. I don't know what is there and what isn't so I am...

My final set of images are from the gun quarter and were taken in 1989. Taken in Price Street it shows a gunsmith at work .

I am afraid the next image needs your help again - " Old Church " I seem to recognise it but not sure of the location , very distinctive with spire next to the main entrance and the other spire in the middle of the building. As you can see I have not straightened this picture as it lost too...

Only a few pictures tonight to finish of the roll, first we have Queen Adelaide corner of Summer Street and Hospital Street, my information says "gone before 1928" so I am not sure what this image is or how old it is or even if this is correct? any suggestion?

Last one - given as a " Group of kids" sign in front of the class says St. Georges Std ( standard?) 6A No idea of a year or how School years ages worked and wide variety of clothing shirt, shirt and tie, jumper or blazer. for the boys. and blouse, dress and skirt variety for the girls -

Apologies for the cropping another image that was " twisted" and lost size during straightening. St Chads School Brealey Street, and a classic school building pointed brickwork to the eaves, arches over over window and the metal framed windows too. Like the pitched roofes and eaves too. The...

Finally another one with not much details - " old school " is all I have - may be grasping at straws but as we have a lot of Newtown images recently could it be in that area - blocks of flats under construction could be a red herring. EDIT: Thanks to Brummy Lad and Astoness for the following...

Seems this is a poor roll of film for the detail in the captions - given as a Corner Shop, seems to be a bit more than that !! Rather grainy image of a wet day Sorry its Cowper Street- quick search on the site for Spilsburys, have the same photograph but better quality

Next we have the Marquis of Lorne, apologies for the quality, picture was dark and twisted so a bit of foreground was lost when I straightened it. Corner of Newtown Row and Cecil Street taken in August 1961. Love the dome on the corner and the fancy street light and a little Morris Minor on the...

An interesting picture of a large imposing building, This is the Albion Cinema, the picture has a number of interesting features, firstly love all the metalwork on the windows - all sorts of patterns, enjoy the fact there is a LLoyds Bank connected to the building and the finger signpost on the...
