Next picture is same location just slightly to the left and showing more of the viaduct and showing that there seems to be more road than anything else around here.

Moving on now to Roll 39 now , Bottom of Garrison Lane taken in January 1991, general industrial view , railway line running across the top of the viaduct and just behind the factory, and the clock tower right of centre.

I will put these last two together as one is rather poor but it leads onto the other - Bull Street from High Street, I am not sure it is particularly rare as I have a slide of a this or a similar location and if I have one then the rest of you must have seen one!!, The first image shows the age...

Moving onto Paradise Street now and somewhere else which has under gone change - from the centre building with the three eaves all the building to the left have disappeared and not for the best, another glass fronted box with no real architectural merit - not compared with what was there...

Back into the city Centre and the Waterloo Bar in New Street, love the large sign for Billiards, and the large portico which is an imposing look, top end of New street - is this where the RBSA is / was - hard to locate as all my reference addresses have moved - was going to say near the...

We move slightly out the city centre to Hockley Hill in 1964 just before the start of the flyover redevelopment. See the Imperial Leather advert over the chemists shop and the line of three storey shops , bay window on the first floor and a small central window on the top floor / attic. Few...

apologies for not cropping this better and removing the feet of the people outside WH Smiths. Main image is of course Great Western Hotel, fronting Snow Hill Station large building and great feat of symmetry to maintain the look. Imagine what it would look like today - frontage retained and a...

next we are at the corner of The Parade , Newhall Hill and George Street, with a Policeman directing traffic I assume? Fromm the writing on the bottom of the p[picture I wonder who Alfred was - and why is there a book with picture about his life? Pub on the left and a large Philips lamps sign on...

Next selection and the last few on this roll are photos of pages from a newspaper and a book judging by the print - I apologies as usual for the quality of the images although they are interesting and also the cropping of the image which I had no control. Can I also say that I only have these...

First tonight something different which may be of interest - its a note selling a business ( Oxford dining rooms 6 & 7 Newhall Hill) in 1928 and states the amount and what is included and the terms - quite interesting

Thanks _ have just been looking up and down there and saw that building but then got distracted at how its changed but it is 40 years since I worked down that way - that makes me feel very old !!

another guess here with Regent Street and Vittoria Street although I am not sure, curved corner large windows upstair with smaller one down, bars on the windows and quite an orrnate entrance on the left hand side. note the large building behind it and the delivery door on the left hand end.

With this photo I have taken a shot in the dark and included the information on my list - assuming I have tied the right picture and text !! Old Building in Frederick Street and Regent Street., - an massive manufacturing building, massive metal farmed windows downstairs and less ornate windows...

Next picture suggests the Jewellery Quarter and after a bit of Googling I came up with Frank Clissold Ltd, 94 Vyse Street, Birmingham, Love the line of properties, all double fronted, with pilllars either side of the door, and with an arched window above the door upstairs. I assume next doors...

The next picture is more a close up of the van although we can see more of the shop and house down the road. Very much an old terraced street with the small front space, wooden fence. Some of the houses have been modernised with an enclosed porch although we still have the arched window frames...

We now move onto Roll 38 and this is very much a mystery roll - there are pictures with vague titles, photos of pictures and pictures from books - some have titles but then where are they from? All of them are of interest and hope you can assist in identifying locations and sources. So the...

I have posted these last 4 picture together as they are taken from a publication by the look of it, and apart from the first one I am not sure if they are Birmingham ( I assume they are) . Mitchell and Butlers drays, A alley or court Interesting three storey terrace with a Colmans Mustard...

next we have what is described as " Coach and Horses" should, that be wagon? in Bordesley Green Road, not much else to see, nice stepped line of terraced houses across the road and the cast iron bus stop post. Interesting selection of shop fronts on the left wrought iron work on the windows and...

Edging still further down the road and we can now see the "blind" wall hiding the sloping roof of whatever is behind the gates. The building on the right seems to have religious vibe to it, tall pointed gables large arched windows and top of the wall is a large round window, although I could be...

Next we have moved down the road and looked back from where we came from. We can see the large gate with an interesting castellation on the top of the wall and how close we are to the viaduct, imagine the sound of the steam locos back when. We can see the roof looks to be in poor repair and how...
