We are back in the City Centre for the next few - Looking up Albert Street off Dale End in February 1961, imagine parking there these days , nice bit of iron work on the bus shelter on the left too

Next we have some industrial buildings - Moorsom Street and Ashford Street, or so my list says - although this may be one of the extras I mentioned earlier.

The next few are added for interest (!) as the quality is not amazing and the description is vague . This is Powell Street and Summer Hill Terrace Is this The Summerhill - trying to read the words and guessing . Always surprised me the row of trees that mange to remain among the roads and...

Now looking rather sad for itself, The Summerhill Tavern, former Banks Pub it has an interesting selection of poster for bands of the time. Nice selection of dorways window frames and turrets and a large chimney peeping out from the back.

Our next picture is taken in Summerhill Road, once a FIAT dealership, this now boarded up property was apparently a Cinema in the 1950's. Everything boarded up and Fly posted in 1992

Moving a bit further down Monument Road to the corner of Darnley Road and we have the Church of St. Johns and St. Peters, and designed by S.S Teulon built in 1852 - 1854, it was consecrated by the Bishop Of Worcester and built on Ladywood Green a 17th Century Plague burial Ground

Here we have the Monument Road Baths surprisingly on Monument Road, looking all closed up but it may be the photo, taken in March 1992, seem quiet but it may be because a lot of pictures were taken on a Sunday

We now have a general view down Waterworks Street , Harold Road onthe left and Perrotts Folly in the distance , the houses on the right remain but those on the corner of Harold Road have been replaced . Remember the old road signs it looks easy to miss and has no light over it either

We now move to Rolls 64, which has 21 picture and list saying there are 28 picture - hopefully I can match up what I have got - also not all will be posted as they are over exposed !! First photo and help called for my list says we have the entrance of the old Waterworks standing in...

Next we have I am told the White House - Gooch Street and Bishop Street again 1960, looking like it is/ has been refurbished, not a hint of branding of any sort , and their is a lack of a lamp on the corner fixing. Nice selction of cars - any colour but has to be black !!

Looking sorry for itself is the Shakespeare, Wheeler Street Aston 1961, never heard of Dares Bitter Beer, like the old ness of the building the large lamp, blocked up windows, a street sign across an old window and the old lamp on the corner

Clearing the end of Roll 63 - first up we have the Glassmakers arms, Granville Street and Holliday Street taken in 1961, leaded glass, sash windows and the Ansells sign, few little bits - faded wall on the left from an old sign , bricked up window with a little window on the side and the...

Next we have something different - an Atkinsons Pub ; taken in 1959 this is standing in Washwood Heath Road , looking quite old with its leaded windows and the sign to the gardens. Few interesting things - The large over the side entrance - the bus stop sign - the projecting Stableford sign...

Still in the same area we have the Avenue Hotel on the corner of Queens Road and Park Road taken in 1967, and quite a tranquil scene with the trees and church in the distance . I love the empty clean streets and the old lorry

We are now looking up Bracebridge Street with the Old Vine Pub , its unusual these days to see the mix of shops especially a record shop, next to an Off license next to houses and a pub on the end of the street !! Am I right in thinking there is another pub ( Ansells?) even further up the road?

This next image is more for the line up of cars- everyone built like a tank and probably each one was a rust bucket. - my paperwork says this is the Mazeppa Inn on Yates Street, I have posted a picture of this pub but this is from a different angle .

Next we have a few picture titled " Bombing of the Old Malt Shovel" - I have posted a few of the series before but I am not sure if I have posted these ones . The first few show how I receive the images - page is a photo of a photo in an album !!

Next we have The King Edward Lichfield Road - I have posted a more modern picture of this place but this is 1941, nice car out the front - can you imagine parking there these days !! Dark painted building but I think it was an M & B thing as I have seen a few pubs in the scheme

another picture from 1941, this is Stevens Bar in New Street, love everything about this building - the black windows on the left hand side and the massive M & B sign, I am unsure of the side road (to give me more idea of a location ) suggestion?

Next picture is a bit on the lean but taken in 1941 we will allow that - this is St. Martins Jamaica Row, large imposing building over many floors with a large illuminating M & B sign on the front and a large lamp over the corner entrance.
