Clearing the end of Roll 63 - first up we have the Glassmakers arms, Granville Street and Holliday Street taken in 1961, leaded glass, sash windows and the Ansells sign, few little bits - faded wall on the left from an old sign , bricked up window with a little window on the side and the...

Next we have something different - an Atkinsons Pub ; taken in 1959 this is standing in Washwood Heath Road , looking quite old with its leaded windows and the sign to the gardens. Few interesting things - The large over the side entrance - the bus stop sign - the projecting Stableford sign...

Still in the same area we have the Avenue Hotel on the corner of Queens Road and Park Road taken in 1967, and quite a tranquil scene with the trees and church in the distance . I love the empty clean streets and the old lorry

We are now looking up Bracebridge Street with the Old Vine Pub , its unusual these days to see the mix of shops especially a record shop, next to an Off license next to houses and a pub on the end of the street !! Am I right in thinking there is another pub ( Ansells?) even further up the road?

This next image is more for the line up of cars- everyone built like a tank and probably each one was a rust bucket. - my paperwork says this is the Mazeppa Inn on Yates Street, I have posted a picture of this pub but this is from a different angle .

Next we have a few picture titled " Bombing of the Old Malt Shovel" - I have posted a few of the series before but I am not sure if I have posted these ones . The first few show how I receive the images - page is a photo of a photo in an album !!

Next we have The King Edward Lichfield Road - I have posted a more modern picture of this place but this is 1941, nice car out the front - can you imagine parking there these days !! Dark painted building but I think it was an M & B thing as I have seen a few pubs in the scheme

another picture from 1941, this is Stevens Bar in New Street, love everything about this building - the black windows on the left hand side and the massive M & B sign, I am unsure of the side road (to give me more idea of a location ) suggestion?

Next picture is a bit on the lean but taken in 1941 we will allow that - this is St. Martins Jamaica Row, large imposing building over many floors with a large illuminating M & B sign on the front and a large lamp over the corner entrance.

Roll 63 now and we are back to old Pub photographs I will try not to duplicate previous posts - but it may happen, shout and I will remove them. The first picture is the Rose and Crown Brealey Street but taken from the side - I have posted a front picture before. Its an interesting view as in...

First up - thanks for the comments I will credit you and add them to the page when I have a moment

and to finish off we have - and I am guessing Ladywell Walk or Wrottersley Street - of coure nothing left now !!

and a few more - even a proper garage doing servicing

Carrying on down the road and we have this selection of shops and what made Hurst street " different" at its time - totally different from the City Centre and markets a few streets away

Walking down Hurst Street and this time a more positive outcome and very much an old and new - we have the site of the " Back to Backs " and a look at the Street View can see how this has changed for the better Now run by National Trust ...

We now move to the City Centre and Hurst Street - there was a conversation about the location months ago but I cannot recall it but I feel it was about this area - As you can see we are outside the Hippodrome and looking across to the "Old" Fox, we are coming to the end of the redevelopment...

Now apologies for this shot, the road sign says Warwick Road - but as its a long road I am not sure of it relationship to the Dolphin. A selection of shops with older building close but a look down the road have more modern ( relatively) buildings. Again these were taken December 1991

and lastly the work begins - not sure if this is from the interior or to be used to board the building up - all taken in December 1991.

Next we have a look through a hole in the fence to the state of the building at the rear and also the fencing round the site too

We now move across town to the site of The Dolphin Warwick Road - when it was been demolished - more boarded up shots actually
