Fancy a bit of temporary shopping ...... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/enlargements/high-street-deritend-temporary-shops.htm

Yes, nice overview of the census. They also featured the roll-out on the "Today" programme which also included an interesting piece on the myth of the "Roaring 20s."

Not quite - you'll have to put a few more years in to qualify! Cheers from the Yam-Yam

I have amended the date on the pic and credited you with the info - if you would prefer your real name to be used please let me know.

Thanks for that, I will update accordingly.

Sorry, but for accuracy the red line should end at the first building on the east side of Rea Street. No.73 The orange line should not extend to Adderley Street but finishes at the old post office - opposite the court marked on the map you have used.

I have this lovely photograph but no location. I do not expect this thread to run as long as the epic St. Luke's Road bus thread but it will be interesting to see how it goes. Don't look up the bloke - just click on the photograph for some background on him ...

They probably ended up on e-bay. Some of the old street signs fetch a few hundred quid!!

Suit you sir .... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/enlargements/high-street-deritend-12-13.htm

and, just to lump it all together [with the exception of the corner building on Rea Street] this is Deritend High Street ....

There used to be a sign for both Deritend and Bordesley on that row - this pic is from a distance but you can just about make them out ...

The final boundary was Milk Street so, there we have it, no confusion now!!
