How sad, Lyn. My old school St Chad's Infants was around the corner, in Brearley Street.

Astoness, did a bit of investigating and found this. https://www.brumpic.com/new-blog/ It was once the old Delicia cinema. Later it later became a venue for wrestling, and then became home to the BBC Midlands TV studios where the BBC broadcast plays before it relocated to BBC Pebble Mill...

The Stag's Head, Summer Lane. Sorry, can't provide a date (late 1800s / early 1900s?) I wonder where they were going?

Thanks for that Astoness! Am I right in thinking that building to the left of the pub was the old BBC studios in Birmingham at some point in it's history before Pebble Mill was built?

Looking at the registration of the mini on the left with the 'D' reg dates the photograph around 1966.

The orientation from the map is looking west up Duddeston Mill Road towards Duddeston Train Station, at a guess I would date it from the 1960s because of the tower block in the background.

The Sacks of Potatoes, Gosta Green (apologies for the error in the title).

The photograph shows the pub was call The Crown Hotel then. I've no idea when the photograph was taken but I'd hazard a guess at Victorian or early 20th Century. I've seen a lot of photographs of The Crown but none with the bar staff / waiters standing outside.

Thanks so much for that Phil. In the photograph I found of The Hideout, the observer is looking 'up hill' where as the view of The Emily Arms is looking 'down hill'. The photograph explains this much better...

The Emily Arms was situated on Emily Street (corner of Emily St and Dymoke St). The original Victorian pub was demolished and replaced with a new pub of the same name. Later known as The Hideout, it is now in use as an Islamic centre.

Apologies for the quality of the photograph, I took it from a Youtube video. Any idea of the date?

I saw this photograph years ago and it has been mentioned here. Took me a while to track it down but I have. It shows a US military policeman standing guard outside what is now Pheasey Library / community centre. If anyone has more information about it, I'd love to know.

Barbarella's : Bands from March to May 1974....where has the time gone?
