Next we have the Old Star Public House in Gooch Street, unusual curved frontage and the various levels of the roofs. I like the ornate swags under the roof line, the various window sizes over the building and the ornate etched windows on the ground floor.

We now move forward to the later version of the Peacock, now a whole different layout - with small M & B plaques , ornate entrance smaller lamps and a small balcony above the entrance too. moving forward to the modern day Streetview has this build still there ( greater minds than me may be able...

Next in the old and new series we have the Peacock Inn on the corner of Darwin Street and Dymoke Street, love the advert on the first and second floors and the way the bay windows have been styled. I like the size of the bracket for the lamp too.

Following on in the old and new theme - this one is slightly different - in the previous photo on the left hand side there is a distinctive house and moving right in the background a clock tower - we have the now cleared site with the same house in the background and the tower still there. I...

The next image has been on the forum some years ago and was taken from a book - this seems to be an original or at least a photo of an original. Full of interest I have it as the site of the Redhill Tavern old building a shop with various adverts from Lyons Tea to Sunlight soap as well as an...

As we are on a run of old and new - so here is the "new " site of The Greet pub on the Warwick Road, I have no date for the photo, but the picture looks to have been taken close to the opening - very much in the M & B style - mock stately home - brickwork, stone window frames gables and a...

Well after the last posts it is with some trepidation that I every post again !! The first image is of the old site of The Greet Warwick Road - I have a poor version of this which has " The Olde Manor Farm " written across the bottom - looking like this is in the middle of no where, I assume...

Wow - well that was a poor post how many road names can you get wrong !! I have two excuses, a) I was following the list and b) I am from the north of the city so these mean nothing to me - apologies from those of you from the south. Can I also thankyou for noticing these errors and the...

Finally we have two for the price of one with the two previous sites showing on one image - old on the left with the new nearest to us, very large site - I wonder how long the " Old " Dolphin lasted

Next we have the " new" Dolphin , brick pillars and iron fencing between, large brick building, big roof with large chimneys -not quite sure of the age or style it is trying to represent - but it is in the Birmingham pub style with many around.

Next we have another selection of old and new shots of the same site - first is the Old Dolphin Warwick Road, which has a selction of style pushed together- we have the central pub, but to the left is square building with window and door - to the right is a small addition pushed into the...

Next we have The Bear , Warwick Road taken after 1930, fine brick building with a sign showing the "Warwick bear", patterned brickwork around the roofline - leaded windows and brick window surrounds. Note also the fine lamps on the right , On the extreme left you can just make out the edge of...

We now move to Roll 7 - if you are counting you may have worked out that the last roll had less than 36 exposures on it, basically the majority were rubbish images which were retaken and of better quality on Roll . I am also not 100% sure on the accuracy of the photo details - I am sure you...

to close we return to Aston Road North - this time we are looking back down the road to where the last images were taken from. Hard to believe the difference to todays traffic, and I wouldn't fancy the cyclists chances today !!

My notes give the following information on this building - back in 1856 the building was a pub called the Plough and Harrow and stood on the corner of Rea Street and Moseley Street as we can see it is now a cafe / house . Quite a traditional house front on the left and sash windows upstairs...

another random hop across the city and we come to The Anchor, corner of Bradford Street and Rea Street love the large arched windows downstairs with the smaller ones up. Bit of scaffolding on the corner and a striped blind over the entrance.

Edit: posts #1 and #2 copied to this new thread. Next we have a later picture from the one on #1255, this is take in 1990 as opposed to 1989, but a lot changed in a year - this is Great Hampton Row, Nightingale Knitwear - the pub sign has been covered up and the ground floor has been covered...

Next we have a later picture from the one on #1255, this is take in 1990 as opposed to 1989, but a lot changed in a year - this is Great Hampton Row, Nightingale Knitwear - the pub sign has been covered up and the ground floor has been covered in cladding - seems like they are doing well.

Continuing round, we come to The Albion, which is at odds really - Albion - near the Villa and a Courage pub near Ansells!!

Moving to the right slightly , and this photo has a few more of the properties - apologies for the grainy look - sunny day and the picture were overexposed so tried to make them more viewable. Is that the BRMB building at the top with their logo on the side?
