There are a few images, if you put "st marys row" in the search box you will find them.

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum.

An interesting photograph which obviously has a story to tell, looks as though a house has been demolished which probably had an entry to the courtyard behind, perhaps a gas explosion or fire. The amount of new brickwork on the right suggests that the door was in that position.

What a cracking image of Dunton Road.

Happy Birthday Jackie, hope you have a great day.

Hi Walker2024, welcome to the forum. There is some information here (post #42). https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/pubs-and-inns-of-bull-ring-and-market-areas-from-1940s.40256/page-2

Before the Old-Maps website was lost to us I copied areas of mainly Lozells, Aston and Nechells. I am not sure if there is any copyright involved with these, perhaps somebody could advise me on this. I copied these because I needed information about the blocks of flats which had been built and...

Aerial view of Brearley Street showing 9-15 but frontages rather obscured.

I think you’ve nailed it Viv, I looked everywhere for images of the interior and you managed to find one. It’s reasonably conclusive given that each window has 5 vertical panes of glass just like the original photograph. I’m convinced now that it was Bingley Hall.

I never noticed this before but it appears that the ceiling is tongue and groove boarding with a reflection of the window as Mike has said.

Well spotted Janice, I checked 1882 & 1884 (1883 didn't show up on my search). No. 39 wasn't shown in those years.

Hi Jo, welcome to the forum, I have checked Kelly's directories of Birmingham around 1883 but there is no mention of a Coffee House in Thimble Mill Lane. What was your ancestor's name, the shop may be down under a different description.

Aerial view from 1937 showing No. 4

I'm sorry, I read your opening post incorrectly and thought the house was at the other end of Hall Road, I will find the relevant aerial view for you although the britainfromabove.org website seems to be offline at the moment.

Lyn, I think you posted that the building was still standing and I think this is it. At least 2 houses have disappeared to allow access to the back and also extensions built onto the side and the entrance moved to the side also. Numbering on google is a bit weird.

1950s map showing No. 262

An aerial view of the houses at the top end of Hall Road. If you have a house number (or name of your grandad) it may be possible to pinpoint the house. EDIT: Original map shown was incorrect, this is the corrected map.

1950s map of Hall Road

Darkening the image a little it does say 'Official Caterers to B...............', as mentioned in post#6 This plus the sign 'scotch whisky to be had at all bars' suggests Bingley Hall but not definitive of course. I've compared the windows with several on photographs of Bingley Hall it seemed...
