Thank you for the additions to the previous photos I last posted , nice to fit the pieces together . I have another unknown photo to start - well to me anyway, this one does not even have an entry on my list. Sign over the entrance says "Highfield Ballroom", apart from that wide empty streets...

Last one for tonight or two even , I cannot work out the reason for them but they are from a property in Gee Street, few holes in the ceiling, gas lighting - the rest is up to you - plenty to see . EDIT: From Astoness, Images were to highlight the poor living conditions

Well I need your help again , this time we have a church - and thats all I have, looking from the rear so we cannot see the name board, winter - no leaves on the trees and a few people walking towards us in the grounds, curved vestry on the rear corner and a number I high arched windows...

Back to the pub , this is the Rose and Crown on the corner of Hospital Street and Brearley Street, love the window shapes on this building , on the ground floor the wide arched leaded windows then from the left we have a small round window, then on the first floor we have 3 small windows with...

Help needed with the next one, all I have is " Old Library?" , the sign on the right says St. Georges Church Parish Club Rooms,, does that help? Makes it seem to be more likely to be a Church, number of notice boards, a bell tower, lots of leaded windows, and a pointed entrance with an...

Sorry there are a flow of pubs at the moment , this one is The Cross Guns and is the corner of Summer Lane and Frankfort Street, standard pub with the door on the corner , and the large lamp over the door. Looking at the right hand side of the pub, there is the sloping roof over a narrow...

Next is The Sportsman Inn, corner of Newtown Row and Moorsom Street, taken in 1961, interesting van / bus to the side, like the large brick built building - interesting that a number of windows are bricked up, like the metal framed windows also. I can also see a ramp in the road just below the...

We now move onto Roll 5 First - using the description I have been given, " Old Cinema Dudley Road" taken in July 1961, unusual shaped white part with a large set of steps, row of shops to the left - not sure what is happening to the front of the building, looks like a hoarding(?)

and lastly on this roll and apologies for the quality of the image - battle between lifting the light on the left and losing everything on the right this is The Three Horseshoes, Summer Lane and Cowper Street, taken in August 1961, A few roadworks going on, remember the large red and white...

Next we have Birmingham House Summer Lane / Farm Street, black and white paint work against a rather plain upstairs. Like how the left hand side has Mitchells & Butlers spread across all three panels , however on the right its crammed in Mitchells&Butlers style !! Like the old style...

Last few on this roll and we have St. Georges Vaults, Great Hampton Street and Unett Street, quite an imposing building painted all in white, taken 28th October 1958 apparently. Slightly less ornate lamp than the usual over the door

This is The Justice Inn, Great Russell Street, large building compared to those around it, small child sat on the step and and selection of vehicles - van , campervan and car. Nice street lamp on the corner.

Next we have another hearse picture, two lovely horses , fine glass sided hearse and a very smart gentleman driving outside the Equitable Money Society, but no year and no location either EDIT Astoness and Pedrocut provided - part of the same funeral service seen on post 291...its going past the...

Taken in 1968 this is the Royal George on the corner of Summer Lane and William Street, verry ornamental with the leaded windows, stone outline to all the windows on the first floor and the fancy work under the eaves, follwoing round to the right it seems to finish very suddenly- did it use to...

Next is St. Matthias Tavern, on the corner of Great Russell Street and Bridge Street West, taken in July 1960, a warm day judging by all the sash windows open, long stretch of Terraces with a pub on the corner, much the norm in those days. Like the little van and the pair of steps in front of...

Tonight we start with The Vine, Summer Lane , taken in July 1961, interesting layout from the left we have big window, door(?) leaded window, another door then a passage. First floor has two bay windows, and what looks like a large lamp on the front. To the left we have the Co Operative...

Last one for tonight is White Swan Cecil Street and Hanley Street - this image was taken in 1958, nice tidy street, leaded windows , shallow roof line. Quite a gap between the pub and the house- large yard for someone / something. and the house look quite wide too.

Thanks Lyn, I had no chance of picking it up on a word search :laughing:

I am hoping someone may have seen this picture before and can add some light to it - my information is as follows " Horse and cart outside the United Club off Summer Lane", quite clearly this is a rather loose description , Horse drawn hearse with 7(?) coaches behind - so presumable someone...

Popping back to Summer Lane, we have The Stags Head, Summer Lane and Brearley Street, the building is still there and the surrounding are still recognisable, however there are no long any buildings behind it in Brearley Street. Love the size of the lamp over the door and the cars - interesting...
