I recall the hosing department took all of its fleet vehicle to Curzon St depot for the servicing ad maintenance. I do also recall the Railway pub, famous for some of the bands who played there. The landlord was a legendary pool player too.

Anyone know the name of the school that it used to be?

It is shown on the 1886 OS map, and first in the 1879 Kellys. It is listed in Kellys up till 1921, but a school is not listed in the 1932 Kellys. In all cases no name is listed, just School or Board School. It presumably was just Grosvenor Street Xcool. Surprisingly it does not appear to be mentioned in Thornton's Victorian buildings of Birmingham.
