That makes more sense!!

Next picture is more of a rescue mission , to show the image, we have the before and the after - corner pub with a nice old ford outside street sign says "GEN" street - does that sound right - any offers gratefully received. EDIT: Gem Street - thanks Astoness

Just to tidy up we return to Roll 18, this has loads of duplicates and a couple of pictures with no information , first picture is more for interest as it is a street with a row of shops and pub on the corner - building on the left with the large "S" brackets are quite distinctive and the row...

Next we have another beer seller - not a pub (?) no location or year but plenty of clues in the picture for you sleuths. Centre building has a wide spread of leaded windows and nice pedements around the side door. Traditional window display to the provisions shop to the left, and a Players...

No date I am afraid but at least we have this as Monument Road, all boarded up but with both M&B and Ansells signs. Interesting step on the roof line . Like the shop next door with Brooke Bond Dividend Tea and the General Store sign over the door. EDIT: - No. 104 Monument Road.Thanks BrummyLad.

My list of photo information is a bit bit vague on the last few on this Roll which somehow is Roll 21. The tall building on the right is distinctive, EDIT: St. Mary's Church, corner of Avenue Road and Aston Road North. ( Thanks Brummy lad) Petrol station on the left with the glass globes -...

and then and more modern view looking at the road sign, The old lamp has long gone the window frames have been painted, and there is now a large lamp over each door and the pub name is illuminated.

Next we have two photos of the Avenue in Aston Road North , the first is a street view, Thomfsons on the left looks very busy and the street itself has plenty of people on it. a select few cars - nothing like today would be , like the lamp on the left and the old bus stop sign. There is a very...

Next we have The Anchor, which my list says is Bradford Street / Rea Street, and somewhat obviously- may have been a pub!!. Still standing and still a pub , this corner pub looks wonderful with its red brick and carving just under the eaves, blinds over the windows and traditional pub sign

Next we have Anchor Inn , Islington Row corner of Tennant Street. I like the dark ground floor and the white upper floors and that the windows are only on the Islington Row side. Interesting layout of the building to the left shaped eaves, intersting shape above the first floor windows and the...

so after the pupils we have the teachers, again from St. Pauls School and again a lack of further information. Another interesting shot all dressed smartly and of a certain age.

Thanks for your kind words. We start tonight with a couple of class photos, first we have a class of children from St. Pauls School, sorry for the washed out nature of the picture I am afraid no further information than that, shown for the variety of clothes that wee worn.

and finally old house !!, a selection of terraced house of all shapes and sizes , interesting layout of the nearest ones - central passage , door but no windows on the floors above and then three floors of windows. Shop with a bay window further down the street, a few two storey terraces, back...

Roll 16 is another short roll only two picture one is poor but interesting the second is okay but both have no description. All I have on this one is Mr. Harrison outside his shop aged 10. very poor picture but interesting as I presume this was how poultry was sold back in the day -...

Second sheet is not as tidy as the postcards have been cropped We have Exeter Place 1965, Ashted Place, Yates Wine Lodge 1951 and Corporation Street 1951

Roll 15 is just as bad 10 picture of the same child, there are two sheets with the previously mentioned postcards on so I will post those so you can confirm if you have seen them before - I was presuming you had as I have seen them !! First sheet has Rackhams 1954, Galloways Corner 1950...

As I said not much on this Roll - the other photo I referred to had no information so as usual over to you and I will update the information if you are successful. So we have the demolition of something, somewhere, couple if diggers, few skips and and a building covered in the corrugated...

Moving onto Roll 14 and another roll with hardly any new images, lots of postcards which I have seen so I am sure you have - multiple picture of the same image ( badly done) and one image which I have no details of!! First we have The Bulls Head in Bishopgate Street, very ornate stonework...

Finally last picture on this roll and we had simpler times, these are the very ornate stamp machines outside the Central Post Office standing on Victoria Square, it has many styles - urns , triangular roof - I know that style has a name !, Boxed gable roof - thanks Donbogen column legs and...

We now move to the right and an unsympathetic view of the Council House with the roads along the front and curling round, fences to keep the public from crossing over the road and a traffic light . We can also see the changes that have happened on the right, with the old Lloyds Bank, and the...
