Here's the Beacon Cinema from the thread on Birmingham Cinemas.. Does that look like someone sitting on the roof to anyone else?! One of my schoolfriends went to work at the Lloyd's Bank in the row of shops when she left school. I think there was a supermarket there in the late 60s, can't...

I guess this is the church here....
