All great. New ones on here Dennis I think. How well I remember the one with the Alum Rock tram on it...just like that. The Wesh Market was there in olden times and the Lamb house on the corner of Crooked Lane. I think that Dale End was called Broad Street at one time (not to be confused with...

Great picture Post #113 (they all are) but 113 new here I think and compliments a similar painting view posted earlier by you. Looking up the hill from the front of the Theater Royal. Bennetts Hill not there yet. I think that St. Phillips may be a bit more imposing than it actually is from there...

The little old Fordson? vans might be worth a bit now.

Mathew Boulton Primary School, Boulton road.

I thought that it might be a version of Anthony Road. It's kind of similar looking but smaller I think.

The color drawing of Ann Street is possibly more representative than photographs of the same. It adds color and photo's are only black and white which adds more drabness to everything. Ann Street looks like it is stuck in time and the Evil Empire is rising around it. THe first of this group is...

What a great bit of film. Thanks. The boys all looked remarkably fit and it would be hard to find enough similarly so to make the film today, maybe. Great sights of King Edwards.

Don't think the Rea runs into the Severn Jenny.

The question by Dennis about Peck Lane...Yes Peck Lane vanished to all intents and purposes when the railway station was built and the opening seems to have become part of King Edwards latterly then, with a gate. However the curbs of the lane entrance remained for a while I seem to think from...

I think Polly may well be right and that would be Worcester County Cricket Club ground on the right I suspect. No barges ever that size on the Rea I think although there may have been row boats when Heathmill pool was in place. Still remarkably there are similarities between the places although...

This has been on here before and is to do with the old/New Royal hotel and Portugal House postings. It's an old early photo of what I believe is New St at Ethel and is 1870 era by the look of the old 'knife board' horse bus. I'm not sure if that terminology is right, still, the curved staircase...

Here is an early 1900s photo of New St. right by the old King Edwards school. The entrance to the Midland Arcade can be seen immediate right. This would have been across from the Hen and Chicken's portico and indeed for a while the entrance to the Hen and Chicken's was an extended arcade with an...

#1230 is down High St. in the Bull Ring. The photo #1223 is in fact where Viv says but the buildings may have changed by the time the bombs fell. Hen And Chickens portico on the left. Have not seen #1223 before...not a photo that old anyway. Possibly the damage was done by the same string of...

The nelson statue picture post #125 seems to show a disconnect between the clothing of the men and the ladies dresses...it seems to me anyway...different periods. The two pictures of St. Martins shows what was behind the church before Smithfield Market I think. You can see the industrialisation...

Yeah, looks like it. Funny, we walked by these things quite often and never even noticed them back then. They must have made an impression though.

Echo Vivs remarks and the trees around St. Martins made all the difference. Would have walked down to catch the Midland Red or Stratford Blue on just such a day, many times back then. Rainy sundays.

Eric, is that an oil painting and is it for sale? I have seen a photo on here of that same view but with policemen in the scene on a mistier day. Would that the same view were available today but I suppose that everything moves on.

Yes, you have done more research than I did but see post #21 and it agrees with the Montague St. location. The immediate area is not that large and one can become confused by this; thinking that you are looking at a large field. I think that the Rae is visible in the sketch though but does not...

You know the last Ball photo's are not history to me...they are photo's of the way it was when last there so the history part comes as a bit of a shock. They are history I suppose and fine pictures at that; showing as they do last vestiges of, maybe not a fine city to everyone, but to us it was...

Not sure at all about what it represents Dennis. Just pointing out what may be very vague similarities.
