Singers Hill synagogue, in blucher St, at its opening in 1856. Still looks the same, as can be seen in Ellbrown's photos on post 39 at https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/for...gham-mailbox-building.9675/page-2#post-370331.

Hi Following search for Blucher Street I came across this (and other) photos of Brum on Flickr. Advice on the building in the foreground of this one is requested. Perhaps some forum members could provide this? If you do not have a Flickr account then let me know and I will add them.
Hi Mikejee, i saw you had posted a close up map of 37 Blucher st, is it possible to give a link to the map so that i can check it out towards the bottom of the road too ? someone is looking for 2 back of 57 blucher stWilliam
I don't think anyone here is likely to remember it as a school. Ut stopped being marked in directories in 1933, and on maps it was just marked as a
hall till around the 1960s
that would be wonderful thank youi have 7 photos of this street if anyone would like to see them ?

oh thank you, picture 1 is the Craven Arms, with the sweet shop next door, on the left of the picture you can just see the R Whites sign for Joe Rann's shop, groceries and sweets, we lived next door to that one . oh my goodness photo number 7 I believe this is my back yard!! the door at the end facing is number 20 Blucher st, and was from Joe Rann's corner shop, we were next door at number 21 then 22 then an alley way through to the yard. On the left is the toilet block and brewhouse/washhouse.. I don't recognise the other photos but I will send them to my brother, I am sure he will. oh thank you so much
The map was from the old maps site (https://www.old-maps.co.uk/). The map for the whole street (c1950) is below, but no use to you as the area containing no 57 has by then been flattened. However I have attached a map c 1889 where I have marked no 57 in red, and court 4 (which is the same as back 57) with red marker. Cannot be certain which is back house no 2 of 57, but suggest it might be the one in blue,. But this is only a guessHi Mikejee, i saw you had posted a close up map of 37 Blucher st, is it possible to give a link to the map so that i can check it out towards the bottom of the road too ? someone is looking for 2 back of 57 blucher st
