Lots of interesting photos here I have not seen before including:-

• A set from St Andrews in 1932 which in the background appear to show stand construction
• Coronet Cameras production
• Hercules Cycles production
• Telsen Radio Works production
• British Industries Fair
• Evening Mail Building Colmore Circus

If you do a base search on "Birmingham" then go to the right of the screen and refine the search it looks like you can access other collections as well - although I have not looked at these yet. Enjoy!!!
