Looking in Kelly's Directories, I see that the street numbers went down the west side, from Ashted Row down to Curzon Street, then back on the Eastern side up to Pitt Street, on the canal bridge. Next going up the hill in 1913 came No 76 occupied by Offord & Co, electrical engineers and William Hunt, coal merchants. Next up the hill came the wonderful building in question, which was in those days occupied by the B F Williams Ltd, baby linen manufacturers at No 90, then the Belmont Row Wesleyn Chapel (unnumbered in the directory) and then the Ashted Press, printers, at 93 and Joseph Ashworth, hardware dealer at No 94.
By 1933 Offord's at No 76 had been taken over by both the District Engineering & Joinery Co, ship's furniture manufacturers and the B & M Cabinet Co, while the coal yard had been taken over by the Corporation. Past that were the stables of the Birmingham Industrial Co-operative Society Ltd. Next up the hill came our wonderful building in question, then occupied by the Co-operative Wholesale Society Ltd (as a piano factory). Further up came the chapel, no mention of Nos 93 and 94 and then T Mason & Co, machine tool merchants at No 95. Perhaps Mason's had taken over the similar business of Ashworth's and expanded into the adjoining properties.
Coming to 1939, the Co-op building was used as a bedstead factory, the chapel had become the Moland [pulping] Mills of the Birmingham Waste Co. at 92, with Read & Hudson, ladies hairdresser at 93, (no mention of 94), and T Mason & Son Ltd, machine tool merchants, still at No 95.
By 1950, the hairdressers at No 93 had been replaced by Belmont Upholstery, and there were no 94 or 95 (I have a feeling they may have been bombing casualties).
The 1963 show the former Corporation Yard as a civil defence depot, the stables still as stables (in 1963, mark you), and the big Co-op building just as a CWS warehouse. Beyond were the pulping mills at 92, Belmont Upholstery at 93, and T Waters, tailor at 95.
The 1973 directory shows no buildings on the east side of Belmont Row above Pitt Street.
