Aerial view showing Rupert Arms and No. 61

An aerial view and map of #176

I found this other image of Broadbents and Mill Lane on the Digbeth thread posted by Stitcher, think it should be included here. Appears to be a Phyliss Nicklin original.

No. 51 Digbeth

In 1955 the shop was run/owned by Miss Eunice Thomas

Happy Birthday John, I hope the snow doesn't affect your plans for the day.

We moved to Cannock just in time for the 62/63 winter, missed school just 1 day that winter and even then I walked there, the snow was piled up either side of the pavement, when I got there the school had been closed.

Well spotted Alf and a great image, there are very few of Park Road, Aston.

No. 141 Lyn but says it's Jones Richard Thomas

Happy Birthday Pete, hope it's a good one.

It certainly appears that the Handsworth Historical Society got it wrong, I hope this helps to correct the mistake highlighted by Crabslaw.

Kelly's listing from 1921, lists a coalyard at #35, and several shops including one at #33.

Hi Tom, this is a link to an 1855 map, it is labelled as Cato Street at this date. https://maps.nls.uk/view/260802714

This from 1950, right on the edge of the image.

Just found this one, again poor quality but shows the front of the school (1948).

Hi Lyn, sorry it's taken so long, this is the only aerial view I can find, the school is in the centre of the image but very poor quality I'm afraid. What looks like a very high wall, is actually the back of the row of houses facing the playground.

not sure if you are aware the building is still there an google maps. Can’t add a picture from my iPad though

Another aerial view from 1937.

An aerial view from 1935. Looking at the BARRA site their was a WWII bomb death at No. 115, this probably accounts for the disappearance of this row of houses.

Sorry Lyn nobody had replied when I started looking and I posted the maps, it normally says if there have been replies.
