People boarding the omnibus at Dale End (c1890s ?). One penny fare to Nechells. Nice (Spring ?) day for a seat on top.

Don't think there are many photos of the Dale End YMCA, well at least not a full view. This drawing shows the plans in 1904. After that time there must have been a few modifications to some
of the ground-floor shop frontages. Attaching a section of a photo posted by Oldmohawk in an earlier post for comparison. Think the later post might possibly have been about 40+ years later. Viv.

Those are buildings with character!
Yes Richard. There appears to be a couple of statues at the entrance to the building in the architects drawing. I wonder if they were included innthe final build. Viv.
Some history of Dale End including 'on the left causeway' the Beast Market and later Fish Market. There was once 'Bank Passage' off Dale End, a reference to Taylor and Lloyds Bank.
In 1547, Dale Hall was here, the residence of John Elyst.
