Thank you

Small world my family lived at no 77 Bracebridge Street 1912 until just before the war name of Heslington, 13 Kids, must have been bedlam.

Thought I would chip in my Dad was born at 77 Bracebridge Street, is it on the photo you are talking about.

Very interesting my father was born at 77 Bracebridge Street, very close to the Norton Factory 1912.

the old joint lecture theatre, does anybody remember the trap door, us girls used to go down for a fag during the lunch hour, GDGirls’Grammar 1957-62.

I agree 100% with your comments change the uniform, change the name, it will never be the same. GDGS 1957-62.

They can change the uniform and they can change its name as often as they like, it will never be the same as when it was a Grammar School.

Family still there late 1950s, I can recall my Mother talking about Mr Christopher. Maybe they sold put when it moved to Perry Barr.

Can you confirm Jerome's had s shop in the Great Western Arcade, everyone says it was in Union Street. This would be mid 1950s

Thank you very much for posting this photo, you are quite right where you have placed it with Francis Road and Carpenters in sight. I think it was early 1900s.

I remember Doctor Humphries and a Doctor Mott, they shared a surgery in Gerrard Street, Lozells. Dr. Humphries was a balding short rotund man. I can also remember going to the surgery and sitting on the hard wooden chairs or bench waiting for your turn to see the Doctor.

Hello, It's 8 years since you submitted this information and today Ihave found it very helpful. Thank you.

As soon as I read the name, it rang a bell, I think NOT 100% sure it was in a big house on the corner of Lozells Road and Finch Road, somewhere close to Crowder and Brown.

Thanks for the information.

I know Lozells Street quite well, my family coming from Lozells. I would therefore assume it was the Registrar himself who lived at number 23. Co-incidence or what a relative of mine according to the Electoral Rolls was living at 23 Lozells Street, in 1955.

Yes my Grandparents were married in Birmingham Register Office 1912, just wondered where it was.

Could anyone confirm whether or not the original register office was in Edmund Street, before it moved to the bottom of Broad Street.

Lyn, thanks for the reply Yes that is the right corner, the Villa Cross cinema is on the left of the photo but not shown. Looking at the photo I seem to recall the bike shop was a little further down Barker Street amongst a few other shops.

This reply is for Jules65's Avatar I believe the bike shop was situated on the corner of Lozells Road and Barker Street, which was opposite from the Villa Cross, NOT Berners Street. The bike shop may have been called Cowdrills.
