This picture is rather poor but included for interest and hopefully due to the subject may be know to people . I am not sure if this is linked to the picture that follows it.

I have tried tweeking the original scan and all I can say is it is two digits the first been a "1", which narrows it down to 10 branches ;)

Next I have included this more as a talking point - I have this as an " Old House" large two storey, double fronted house, with buildings to the side sitting in quite open grounds. To the left and further back is an interesting building which may be known to someone, a school, church building...

Our next image is pretty much as it comes - all my information is from the picture E.F. Edwards, Ltd. Funeral Directors, I have no location , and the picture as usual is a photo of a photo hence the lack of pavement and the slightly skewed image- this is how it was taken. Large etched glass...

Next we have an interesting picture from a Co Operative shop. I have no location but over the door it seems to say Branch 12 (?). 6 Staff stood outside in their long white coveralls, wide selection of goods on display in the window, and a couple of intersting sign - first No Entrance fee and...

We now move onto Roll 26 First in this series of older picture is what is titled as Lodge Tyre Company , Great Lister Street, I don't have a year for the picture, but this is an amazing vista over the city, lorries in the foreground, terraced house sitting side by side with factories and in the...

We now move onto the 1940 and the build much as it is today, light coloured wall, balustrades around the roof line, and frontage which has not only had the windows changed to match the others but the building is smaller in size too. It looks like the building at the rear has disappeared, I don't...

we now move onto 1930's there have been a number of changes , the brickwork has been plastered over and there is new large lamp on the corner. There are a number of window styles on the frontage and the building is much large than it is today. Hard to imaging that a walk down King Edwards Place...

Good morning -Moving onto roll 25, and only three picture that are new on this roll everything else are copies off roll 23 and 24. To start we have the Crown Pub corner of Broad Street and King Edwards Place, the first picture is taken in the 1920's, large factory building at the rear, number of...

Quick picture - missed one off the last Roll, The Gate , High Street Saltley, leaded windows and nice ornamental support for the large lamp note the stripped base to the lamppost, Saltley Timber yard, is the sign on the right ( I have a wider but poorer picture) .1879 on the wall above the...

No apologies for including this next picture - I was going to ignore it but then noticed the street sign said Weaman Street - its the same site as the previous picture but years earlier and subject to a re build by the looks of it.

Next we have the George and Dragon Weaman Street, building full of character , large entrance , tall windows and brickwork too add the Chimneys and we have aloveley building. Building to the left looks good.

So finally some new pictures - The first is the Birmingham Arms Barford Street , which we can see is wrapped around three sides, love the lamp over the entrance , the wrought iron work at first floor level and the Mitchell and Butlers wording. I also like the buildings at the rear and the car...

No need - I know what you meant - and my words were not meant as sharp as they may have read :)

Hi mikejee, having discovered a better version of the photo on Roll 24 and with a description I can confirm that my list says this is Sandpits .

Apologies if you find posts re appearing or disappearing I have just looked at Roll 24 and find there are better versions of the images from Roll 23 so I will replace where necessary and continue with Roll 24 which also has descriptions which may be of help to some.

I was referring to the current location of ITV central which is 22 Gas Street, modern building behind the Coconut Tree

This is another washed out image - love the glass windows with all their etchings, The Acorn Inn, again no idea of location or year, like all the carved posts, if you look to the right it seems the pub carries over into the building next door ( check the roof line) EDIT: Picture replaced, list...

we now have a sloping road with a rear view of a number of properties , rear entrances large gates then what looks like a small pub/ outdoor just to the left of the pole. Leaded windows , roof at three different angles and Spirits written on the side. a talking of which we don't have telephone...

The next image is overexposed and as far as I can see is the Nelson Inn (?) , guessing as this is a picture with no details, couple of children standing outside , sash windows are open on the upper floor and is that a pole supporting wires for the trams? EDIT: Photo replaced and you can now see...
