I will do the next two picture out of sequence on how they were taken - it will not matter but the first picture will / might give some idea where the second picture is. So this is the Indoor Arena or whatever it is called currently, as we can see in its early stages and surrounded by...

Further toward Hockley Brook we have Pelican Works on the corner with Hockley Street, always remember looking out for the Pelican when on the bus home from "town". Looking down on a number of adverts and always seemed a bit worse for wear. Nicely proportioned building with all the windows topped...

Next we are still in Great Hampton Street and we have the Lord Clifden, not sure of the history of this place, but a quick search on this forum and it seems most of you have been in there !! Single storey with a couple of lamps by the entrance , like the Rover and note the man top left putting...

On the opposite corner is The Church Inn , historic corner pub, circa 1840, so it says, looks like it extends to the building next door, corner entrance but move to the left and there are more traditional features. The building on the left is unusual in shape and has an almost continental feel.

Next we have the fine Lloyds Bank building Great Hampton Street undergoing some refurbishment - love all the details and the turret on the corner . Now totally restored back to its stone finish - looks amazing

Across the road is this stylish building arched stonework on the ground floor , checker board stone work on the sides and an interesting large inset arch in the middle and all windows been leaded. Not sure of the history of this building though it seems to have modern buildings either side...

The next selection is titled "In and around Great Hampton Street" I am guessing at the locations happy to be corrected but I do have some idea!! Next door to Lucas is this fine selection of buildings , is this Cannings? Looks like three distinct buildings, furthest with all the verticals and...

Moving onto Roll 19. The Globe , corner of Manchester Street and Blews Street taken 6th June 1990, Leaded windows upstairs and down,.Interesting roof line compared with the property on the right, large step down although it does not look to be a slope.

Last one off Roll 18 - as it says on the picture The Bridge Saltley - 1936, taken from a book I believe - looking like a gathering of extras from Peaky Blinders!!

Now you have said Crown and Anchor - my list says Ryder Street 1968 - is that the other corner?

That makes more sense!!

Next picture is more of a rescue mission , to show the image, we have the before and the after - corner pub with a nice old ford outside street sign says "GEN" street - does that sound right - any offers gratefully received. EDIT: Gem Street - thanks Astoness

Just to tidy up we return to Roll 18, this has loads of duplicates and a couple of pictures with no information , first picture is more for interest as it is a street with a row of shops and pub on the corner - building on the left with the large "S" brackets are quite distinctive and the row...

Next we have another beer seller - not a pub (?) no location or year but plenty of clues in the picture for you sleuths. Centre building has a wide spread of leaded windows and nice pedements around the side door. Traditional window display to the provisions shop to the left, and a Players...

No date I am afraid but at least we have this as Monument Road, all boarded up but with both M&B and Ansells signs. Interesting step on the roof line . Like the shop next door with Brooke Bond Dividend Tea and the General Store sign over the door. EDIT: - No. 104 Monument Road.Thanks BrummyLad.

My list of photo information is a bit bit vague on the last few on this Roll which somehow is Roll 21. The tall building on the right is distinctive, EDIT: St. Mary's Church, corner of Avenue Road and Aston Road North. ( Thanks Brummy lad) Petrol station on the left with the glass globes -...

and then and more modern view looking at the road sign, The old lamp has long gone the window frames have been painted, and there is now a large lamp over each door and the pub name is illuminated.

Next we have two photos of the Avenue in Aston Road North , the first is a street view, Thomfsons on the left looks very busy and the street itself has plenty of people on it. a select few cars - nothing like today would be , like the lamp on the left and the old bus stop sign. There is a very...

Next we have The Anchor, which my list says is Bradford Street / Rea Street, and somewhat obviously- may have been a pub!!. Still standing and still a pub , this corner pub looks wonderful with its red brick and carving just under the eaves, blinds over the windows and traditional pub sign

Next we have Anchor Inn , Islington Row corner of Tennant Street. I like the dark ground floor and the white upper floors and that the windows are only on the Islington Row side. Interesting layout of the building to the left shaped eaves, intersting shape above the first floor windows and the...
