Birmingham Postcards on E-Bay

[www.midlandspubs.co.uk]

Just flagging up this in case it is of interest to anyone:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320562850972&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

Part of a large variety of old Birmingham views that form a nice collection.

Cheers

This is indeed a belter of a resource, although the above URL is out of date -
just entering Birmingham in the search brings back well over 4000 and, whilst there are many duplicates if you go through them all there are some absolute gems, a lot of these are actual photos so very high quality - here are a few examples:-

Lozells St May Festival 1928




Coronation Tea Thornton Rd Junior School 1953


Soho Rd 1939


Golden Hillock Rd Small Heath


The Parade Hall Green


Steelhouse Lane






Little Bromwich Adult School Brass Band


St Marys RC School 1910


Bham Magical Depot - the guy 2nd left has just asked "What do you think of it so far?" and the dummies head has replied "Ruggish!!!"



And finally - does anyone want to own up to this being them?
