Re: Walk Of Stars Brum https://www.flickr.com/photos/sparks68/sets/72157604458203878/ This is my photoset featuring 15 Stars from the Broad Street Walk of Stars. Blues, Villa, WBA and Walsall all get featured as well as Gary Newbon and Murray Walker from the World of Sport, along with stars...

See https://www.flickr.com/photos/sparks68/4784094835/ for a mash-up of your postcard image with my current image taken in July 2010. I think I prefer the grass to be honest and the square is certainly missing a fountain now the library work has removed the only remaining water feature.

I'm going to walk this way to work in the morning to see how things have changed. Loving your fantastic photos

Ah, thanks mikejee. I checked the 1972 copy in the library on Friday and couldn't see it, but I didn't check any further after that, so maybe it was open a bit longer than I thought. There is not a lot of information online about it. I have found a couple of photos but little else.

Has anyone got any memories or information on this British Restaurant that once stood at 43 Frederick Street in the Jewellery Quarter? Type of food it served, example menus or menu copies? When it opened and when it closed (I think it's circa 1971)? Owners or Publicans Names? Decorations and...

Loving the last 3 pictures, as I work at 2 Brindleyplace, which is now just in front of the Ikon gallery (Oozells Street School) building (In fact I can see the new tower they added to the building from my desk). I have been wondering what the square looked like before the arrival of Costa...

m.humphreys - not off topic at all, as I have a group for Survivors too. https://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=photos&gid=180170614943. The both used the former Lloyds TSB branch on Broad Street in their latest series.

Facebook group on the 6th series of Hustle, with plenty of screen grabs of many Birmingham locations. Some are still unidentified, so check it out and see if you can ID any stills. https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=253369166956 Navigation Street, under Suffolk Street Queensway

Number 3 of 16 pavement trail markers along Frederick Street in the Jewellery Quarter commemorates the fact.

I have been looking at the history of Birmingham and the Newhall Street and St Pauls area recently. I took some modern day images in Feb2010 and merged these new pictures with archive images from Phyllis Nicklin (https://epapers.bham.ac.uk/chrysalis.html) to create a hybrid of old and new...

These are fantastic, and timed perfectly. I work in BrindleyPlace and was only asking around the other day about what was there before the current development, your pictures have answered my queries. Thanks for sharing. Is there any chance I can get copies of the full res images as I would...

So that road that goes off to the left must be Bridge Street, is that right? You can just make out the arched glass roof of the James Brindley pub (now closed) on the extreme left. Great picture showing the way the Broad Street area has been developed extensively in the past 25 years.
