Its such a treat to so see these pictures of the inside of the Fox & Grapes, Malcolm. Thank you so much. The carved figure must have a story connected to it, Lyn, & I wonder what the pictures on the outside of the bar depicted. Do you remember, Malcolm? Were they moved to the Fox & Grapes from...

Thank you for posting those very special photos of the Fox & Grapes interior, Michael. They are the only glimpses I have seen of the interior.

What an interesting building, Lyn & not a car blocking the view either.

A hark back to Brandaur's commercial past, 1871.

Thank you for taking the trouble to record & post this chapter of the Brandaur story, Lyn.

Re: Birmingham History Galleries: Do you have a suburban story? (oral history project Thank you, Bill. It looks as though there will be exciting developments, but what a shame BMAG chose that particular painting to front their project.

Thank you for posting that photo, Moss. How intriguing the area looks.

Yes, I am disappointed that Thomas Finigan's booklet is not available other than by direct access at Birmingham Archives, Mike. Thank you for the follow up newspaper cutting.

There are fascinating insights into Lichfield St & adjacent area in Chris Upton's article: https://www.birminghampost.net/life-leisure-birmingham-guide/postfeatures/2011/07/28/on-an-urban-mission-65233-29136065/2/

Here are some prints by A Tarlington, mentioned above.

If anyone has a panorama shot of this area looking towards town that would also be great. I have looked at my Bordesley photos but most seem to be close up shots rather than panoramas.

Thank you very much for the photo, Phil. It hints at some interesting detail. Lyn, the sight of the flyover from the Lamp must have been quite an eyesore.

one more photos of the Lamp Tavern. Again, please accept my appologies if you are the original poster - I make no claim for finding this photos. Lyn I think that no 94 would be on the same side as the Lamp, but a bit closer to town.

Thank you very much indeed, Mike.

Does anyone have any old pictures of Fogay Hall, formerly known as Bogay Hall, please? There are modern pictures on the web which show the roof, but I am looking for something better. Does anyone know who lived there in 1903? I have been unable to find the Hall using FMP address search for 1901...

Excellent photos of Kingston Row, Stitcher. Thank you.

How sad that that beautifull old Swan has been replaced with an ugly duckling, Stitcher.

Difficult to recognise today's Fox & Grapes as resembling the 1929 view, Lyn. Strange that we have not come across any pictures of this pub from before 1900.

So glad the reports are back, Mike.
