Post *5 The Convention Centre ??? Broad St in that area I think. Dek

Post *4 Aston Cross Lyn although I feel the pub was The Golden Cross( notice the cross above the upstairs window) . Dek

Well Lyn I believe they are the same School at different angles don,t think it,s any of the King Edwards all though I would say a Grammar School as the playing fields has a number of Rugby pitches.Just a guess again maybe Saltley Grammar on Belchers |Lane.Dek

I don,t think the car reg will help to much it will tell you when the car went on the road but won,t tell you how long it has been on the road.Notice the plastic road safety cones this could indeed be the start of the demolition.Dek

I don.t think it is 60s The Renault garage in the background was not built till later.But then again I don,t think it is 80s the vehicles look older than that.I wonder if repairs were required at some time in the 70s that crane looks quite modern too. Dek

Lyn just a guess but could this be the inside of the West End. Dek

Viv I think the shop was just that, a lot of our business came through the shop i.e. other shops requiring electrical installation works.WE became the biggest Electrical installation company in B,ham and had more than 500 electricians working in all the large factories in the area also many of...

That,s a nice reminder Viv I did my apprenticeship at Walker Bros although the workshop was in Bath St at the time I started, the shop was in the area of the new Rackhams.Dek

O.K. Mike I see it now . Dek

Thanks Mike I,ve got the location on the corner of Bradford St so what would be the church in the background it must be in Digbeth, is it St Johns? I wonder, maybe not as it would be to low down.Dek

Don,t remember a bomb case but I seem to recollect an old mine outside the Market Hall. Dek

It disappeared to housing development the best part of 25 years ago.Working as a Contractor at Nuffields in the 60s I spent many a Saturday afternoon in there.An Ansells house if I remember right.Dek

In the50s the 29 terminated at the Trees Pub on the Queslett Rd going from the Kingstanding Circle up and over Kettlehouse Rd it later got extended along Collingwood Drive. The 28 was a outer circle bus terminating at the end of Dyas Rd Kingstanding to Erdington,up the Chester Rd to Stechford...

If I remember right the North Western Arcade had a T junction half way down this came out in Bull St and was called Windsor Arcade ( I think) This is how I remember it after Rachams was Built. Dek

Take a look at the 1st fl window to the right of the entrance on each picture completely different.Dek

Hello Carolina the large building on the right is Digbeth Police Station the photo has to be middle 70s maybe later. Dek

A good point on the Minories I thought of that but what turned me away was the distance the Minories hardly comes any where near the 150 yds mentioned also would this be regarded as a heavy traffic route.Dek

Sorry James I,m not that clever But lets hope someone else can. From the map it shows the house on the Witton side of the railway but I know for sure the line is cut through a deep gulley at that point I would say it was on the top of the hill between the railway the the old GEC sport grounds. Dek

O.K. James at least it was there pre 1866 as the railway appears to cut through the grounds. I think it,s a good assumption to say the house was there considerably earlier than that date.The map shows 2 buildings within the grounds maybe stables or maybe the plot got broken up due to the railway...
