Thanks for your help everyone!

158 Harborne high street. Was this a fruit and veg shop in the 1930s? pics or info anyone? Who owned the property, who ran the shop? Thanks

Is this picture still available here? I can see a Paper Clip with the words 'attached thumbnails' but there's nothing I can open? Cheers.

Thanks, Phil. That's brilliant and gives me a very good start

Hi, does anyone know where I can gain online access to photos, admission lists or stories about this school during the 1950s please?

Anyone out there with memories, stories or pictures of this fish and chip shop from the 1950s please? Was at 325, and caught all the trade from the pub and the cinema. It was, apparently, the only place to buy anything to eat at that time of night in the area. Thanks
