Welcome Maddy. The only photo I can find of Baker Street is this Birmngham Libraries image dated 1908. The Parish Office built in 1830 was a used as a warehouse at one time before being demolished in 1961. Hopefully members will be able to find other photos. Viv.

Hi Maddy. Do you remember any of your neighbours? Would the names Eliza/Elizabeth Gosbell or Ronald and Joan Johnson mean anything to you?

An aerial view (1947) of Soho Road showing a part view of Baker Street, the former Midland Bank building on the corner still exists, amazingly.

Does anyone remember Baker Street from the 30's and 50's? My great grandfather and grandmother lived at 35 Baker Street. with my great auntie Lily and My great auntie Joan. My great grandmother lived there until her death in 1957 aged 70 and my great auntie Joan was one of the last residents to leave Baker Street in 1964.

Thank you so much Brummie Lad. At one point all of my grandfathers family lived in Baker St. He was one of 9 children. Unfortunately they’re all passed now. My great aunty Joan was the last one to go aged 90 in 2016.
