We have 137 Emily Street Highgate next, a bit simpler with just the two storeys but I love the arch and passage down the side and the piece of fencing at the end . Was it only M & B that had outdoors? This picture was again taken in tne 1950's

this is 47 Stour Street, Ladywood licensee Mary .... ? just cannot make it out - someone with the books may help here. What interests me is the right hand side of the property - is this all the outdoor - there seems to be a number of windows and pipes suggesting a number of properties and...

this outdoor is 100 Ledsam Street and was taken in October 1954, this one is slightly different as it has a shop frontage rather than the "house" look. Three storey but still with only one window on each floor. Note the black and white sign post with the red triangle on top.

we now move onto a selection of Outdoors - never sure if people enjoy them - they all look the same - but I suppose if one was down you street you would like to see a picture of it. First is 143 Cromwell Street taken in July 1953, three storey building with very small windows on the front...

Big jump now to Roll 44 - I stopped the random roll posts some time ago, and now running consecutively I found i could spot duplicates easier but this Roll is somewhat out the blue - I cannot see I have posted before but happy to be told otherwise . First picture was taken outside Wythall...

Roll 36 is given as Mrs Harrisons family - I will post a selection of the picture - I have no other information - if it rings bells I can post the rest - if you dont know about them then you cannot ask !! Information about the Military picture from Donbogen - US Army Chaplin/Padre, Willies...

We now have another outdoor - this one seems to be still in use - it has a licensee board above the door - looks like Elizabeth Mullins. Location is given as 187 Francis Street and taken 3rd November 1963. Mitchell and Butlers wording on a painted background - was there a painted sign there in...

Next picture is described as Outdoor in Sparkhill, Long Street and Spark Street, taken on the 9th June 1963 and looking like it has not been an outdoor for a while, love the two styles of street lamps and that small chimney in Spark Street - wonder what that was used for?

Last few off Roll 29 and me now move to The Wellington , corner of Bishop Street and Gooch Street, all boarded up and looking rather sad for itself, but with the M&B globe still intact! taken in November 1990, strange how the brickwork is randomly coming through the paint, also the usual Bill...

Don't worry I have not gone away for another 4 months !! Firstly thanks to TQ for his additions to the Harborne pictures and secondly thanks to Dionysius//88, for all the additional information - I will update the original information as and when time allows - but thanks for taking the time...

Edit: Total re write, information thanks to Superdad3 Former Harborne Police Station The building that became Harborne Police Station was built about 1730 as the Harborne Free School [ie a chrity school] but rebuilt in 1821. In 1837 the school moved to a newsite near the parish church of St...

As the area has changed from what is there now I believe this is the corner of High Street and Ravenhurst Road, lots of old style " little shops" unfortunatly the corner property has been covered in Music posters for various bands - Used to like seening those - of course we don't approve of fly...

Next is a BP garage on the corner of Station Road and High Street Harborne, there are some interesting 60's brickwork at the rear , and a glass sided canopy , according to Google this is now an Asda or a Co Op depending on which side of the road you go down!!

Next we have the Royalty, I believe this is a former Cinema which is now a bingo hall, interesting frontage, with the large building behind, to the right we have The Vine which interestingly has its car park to the left of The Royalty?

We now move onto High Street Harborne taken November 1990, unfortunately that was the title and listed as 1- 15 so the descriptions will be brief and pretty much what you can see. Also as these are more in the modern era there are vehicle everywhere!! First up a general view of Henry Wong - I...

Move onto Roll 29, first a random left field photo, this is listed as " old man of Summer lane" now my question - does anyone recognise him , is he a local " character?

Interestingly I went past this site a few days ago and it is now a building site - it has gone through various incarnations over the years. This is the original version - The Kingstanding, large pub site standing in Kingstanding and on the " circle", another classic symmetrical M & B pub in...

Next up is taken on trust from the list so I am open to assistance, this is the " new " Crossed Guns High Street Kings Heath - I have posted a picture of the old one previously, made in the Tudorbethan style with black and white woodwork, faux balconies supports and stonework. Still no years...

This picture is The Towers, but did not show on my list taken soon after opening - (possibly) , very clean building and site but in the classic M & B style. Like the styling on the chimneys too, and also the mirror style down the central entrance.

again apologies if I duplicate a posting let me know and I will tidy up. My lists tell me that this is the site of the Maypole, which it may be but that means nothing to me Vienna ( sorry old quote someone may get it!) But plenty to see from the telephone pole which is more akin to one at...
