I've learnt over the years never to trust any dates given with any photo unless I know them to be true. The information I have with the photo I posted was that it was taken in June 1960 and it closed on November 29th that year. As I said it's only the info with the photo, but the Woodman doesn't appear in Kelly's after 1962 which would be the data from 1961, and also looking at Alan's photo I'd guess it was taken more likely in 1955 than 1965.

How sure are you of the Doctors name, I went to that Drs in the 1940's, and always thought the Doctors surname was "Loscett". The spelling I'm not sure of as I was very young but I seem to recall on the door plate it started "Lo", also, on the photo, I see the bus stop where I got off the no 19 city circle bus, JAaah, the doctors surgery side door next to the brassfounders - went through that door a few times in my youth - Drs Colston & Lawcett, I recall.
Hi lisa my name is jayne breese Joseph welch was my nans uncle her mom was hannah welch she was his sister I would love to hear from you kind regards jayne xI have been looking into my Nans past, and have just found out she was living at 3 Back, 49 Cregoe Place, Cregoe Street, Birmingham in 1915, when her father was called up to the Worcester Regiment. I know very very little about housing at this time, but going by what else I have found out, I am assuming this was a going to be poor housing.Tenement? Can anyone enlighten me or show me where to look. The internet is great, but you still have to have a rough idea where to look sometimes. Are there any photo archives in Brum anywhere?The family name was Welch.Thanks, Lisa. Black-Country-through-and-through - just happen to live 300 miles away now!
This is an extract of an 1889 map of Cregoe Street, you will see the numbers are consecutive the odd ones on the left hand side. They are not all numbered but you should be able to work out number 49.Hi lisa my name is jayne breese Joseph welch was my nans uncle her mom was hannah welch she was his sister I would love to hear from you kind regards jayne x
