Roll 63 now and we are back to old Pub photographs I will try not to duplicate previous posts - but it may happen, shout and I will remove them. The first picture is the Rose and Crown Brealey Street but taken from the side - I have posted a front picture before. Its an interesting view as in...

First up - thanks for the comments I will credit you and add them to the page when I have a moment

and to finish off we have - and I am guessing Ladywell Walk or Wrottersley Street - of coure nothing left now !!

and a few more - even a proper garage doing servicing

Carrying on down the road and we have this selection of shops and what made Hurst street " different" at its time - totally different from the City Centre and markets a few streets away

Walking down Hurst Street and this time a more positive outcome and very much an old and new - we have the site of the " Back to Backs " and a look at the Street View can see how this has changed for the better Now run by National Trust ...

We now move to the City Centre and Hurst Street - there was a conversation about the location months ago but I cannot recall it but I feel it was about this area - As you can see we are outside the Hippodrome and looking across to the "Old" Fox, we are coming to the end of the redevelopment...

Now apologies for this shot, the road sign says Warwick Road - but as its a long road I am not sure of it relationship to the Dolphin. A selection of shops with older building close but a look down the road have more modern ( relatively) buildings. Again these were taken December 1991

and lastly the work begins - not sure if this is from the interior or to be used to board the building up - all taken in December 1991.

Next we have a look through a hole in the fence to the state of the building at the rear and also the fencing round the site too

We now move across town to the site of The Dolphin Warwick Road - when it was been demolished - more boarded up shots actually

Now a much wider shot of this site with junction with Park Lane - showing how much was lost on the left to allow this road to be built

I think we have now moved further up the road and more tradition high street building - Midland Bank ( now called HSBC) public Library and a large pub on the corner, all still there - much to my surprise

I think we are slowly turning to the right from where we were just standing, a line of old style what they would call these days Independent traders, selection of shop styles and frontages with tradition shop signs

Well that idea went out the window - a month since Christmas and I have not posted anything !! I have prepared quite a few rolls for posting and you will notice roll numbers will jump as we fill gaps - I have also noticed there are a lot of duplicate images, so new images may be a bit thinner...

Just a quick shout out to all of you for you help. comments and additional information make posting a joy. I am away over Christmas but you will be please to know I have my laptop with me and I am working through more pictures to post thanks Steve

Finally the last picture off the roll and we move further down Thimblemill Lane and come to St. Josephs Catholic Church, church yard look overgrown and neglected - a few words from the Catholic Historic Churches website ( quite an important church apparently) Year Built: 1850 Architect: A.W.N...

so then if we turn around we have this view, the old railway bridge which I believe comes from near the old shed at Aston. Below that is the cast iron urinal- saviour for many I imagine - When you see the previous picture its hard to imagine a rail line ran across the area, all gone of course.

Thought I had finished this roll but found a couple on the end - this is Thimblemill Lane and Cheston Road, rather dark but you get the location, industrialized area , scrap yards etc

We now come to Broad Street in 1939 ( so the list says and we know how reliable that is !!) like the street lamps and the cars parked on the side of the road and is that the colonnade on the right? So we are looking up Broad street to where the ICC is now , and the frontage of the Municiple Bank...
