that photo looks odd to me pen the 2 signs above where it say erdington meat co looks french or the letters are all mixed up..then look at the 2 adverts below where it says carlton ballroom..they dont look english..and what about the adverts in the windows of brooks bros and dale forty they dont make any sense to me also look at the lettering underneath where it says carlton ballroom ltd (was it really called that) they also dont make sense to me...i think this photo could have been messed around with

I agree Lyn it looks like an AI enhanced image
 
At first im thought it was just a blurry photo that had been sharpened by AI. However, unless there were two photos taken at the same time, with the same car in place and with two spidery figures and a bicycle at the corner of the butchers, then it has definitely been falsified . AI thinks it looks better with it;s additions. Original less sharp photo below.

Well I can live with that for more than an AI restoration job, at least this looks authentic

also if we look at mikes original photo i can now see that the notice above reads in english fred something and son...as time goes by history is going to be thrown out of the window by AI and not just affecting old photos but the written word as well..from now on i will certainly be looking even more closely at the old photos..
