We move onto Roll 6 the majority of the images were poor photos of pubs and were reshot on roll 7 so I will come to those later . The first few images are Aston Road North in 1990, not exactly old, relative to what else we have been looking at. I don't know what is there and what isn't so I am...

My final set of images are from the gun quarter and were taken in 1989. Taken in Price Street it shows a gunsmith at work .

I am afraid the next image needs your help again - " Old Church " I seem to recognise it but not sure of the location , very distinctive with spire next to the main entrance and the other spire in the middle of the building. As you can see I have not straightened this picture as it lost too...

Only a few pictures tonight to finish of the roll, first we have Queen Adelaide corner of Summer Street and Hospital Street, my information says "gone before 1928" so I am not sure what this image is or how old it is or even if this is correct? any suggestion?

Last one - given as a " Group of kids" sign in front of the class says St. Georges Std ( standard?) 6A No idea of a year or how School years ages worked and wide variety of clothing shirt, shirt and tie, jumper or blazer. for the boys. and blouse, dress and skirt variety for the girls -

Apologies for the cropping another image that was " twisted" and lost size during straightening. St Chads School Brealey Street, and a classic school building pointed brickwork to the eaves, arches over over window and the metal framed windows too. Like the pitched roofes and eaves too. The...

Finally another one with not much details - " old school " is all I have - may be grasping at straws but as we have a lot of Newtown images recently could it be in that area - blocks of flats under construction could be a red herring. EDIT: Thanks to Brummy Lad and Astoness for the following...

Seems this is a poor roll of film for the detail in the captions - given as a Corner Shop, seems to be a bit more than that !! Rather grainy image of a wet day Sorry its Cowper Street- quick search on the site for Spilsburys, have the same photograph but better quality

Next we have the Marquis of Lorne, apologies for the quality, picture was dark and twisted so a bit of foreground was lost when I straightened it. Corner of Newtown Row and Cecil Street taken in August 1961. Love the dome on the corner and the fancy street light and a little Morris Minor on the...

An interesting picture of a large imposing building, This is the Albion Cinema, the picture has a number of interesting features, firstly love all the metalwork on the windows - all sorts of patterns, enjoy the fact there is a LLoyds Bank connected to the building and the finger signpost on the...

Thank you for the additions to the previous photos I last posted , nice to fit the pieces together . I have another unknown photo to start - well to me anyway, this one does not even have an entry on my list. Sign over the entrance says "Highfield Ballroom", apart from that wide empty streets...

Last one for tonight or two even , I cannot work out the reason for them but they are from a property in Gee Street, few holes in the ceiling, gas lighting - the rest is up to you - plenty to see . EDIT: From Astoness, Images were to highlight the poor living conditions

Well I need your help again , this time we have a church - and thats all I have, looking from the rear so we cannot see the name board, winter - no leaves on the trees and a few people walking towards us in the grounds, curved vestry on the rear corner and a number I high arched windows...

Back to the pub , this is the Rose and Crown on the corner of Hospital Street and Brearley Street, love the window shapes on this building , on the ground floor the wide arched leaded windows then from the left we have a small round window, then on the first floor we have 3 small windows with...

Help needed with the next one, all I have is " Old Library?" , the sign on the right says St. Georges Church Parish Club Rooms,, does that help? Makes it seem to be more likely to be a Church, number of notice boards, a bell tower, lots of leaded windows, and a pointed entrance with an...

Sorry there are a flow of pubs at the moment , this one is The Cross Guns and is the corner of Summer Lane and Frankfort Street, standard pub with the door on the corner , and the large lamp over the door. Looking at the right hand side of the pub, there is the sloping roof over a narrow...

Next is The Sportsman Inn, corner of Newtown Row and Moorsom Street, taken in 1961, interesting van / bus to the side, like the large brick built building - interesting that a number of windows are bricked up, like the metal framed windows also. I can also see a ramp in the road just below the...

We now move onto Roll 5 First - using the description I have been given, " Old Cinema Dudley Road" taken in July 1961, unusual shaped white part with a large set of steps, row of shops to the left - not sure what is happening to the front of the building, looks like a hoarding(?)

and lastly on this roll and apologies for the quality of the image - battle between lifting the light on the left and losing everything on the right this is The Three Horseshoes, Summer Lane and Cowper Street, taken in August 1961, A few roadworks going on, remember the large red and white...

Next we have Birmingham House Summer Lane / Farm Street, black and white paint work against a rather plain upstairs. Like how the left hand side has Mitchells & Butlers spread across all three panels , however on the right its crammed in Mitchells&Butlers style !! Like the old style...
