Fantastic aerial view and really interesting...for me......the dog legged road through the centre is Oxford St and can see Coventry St running across it near the top.On one corner is Thomas Walkers and the other The Old Warfe pub with the Back to backs running to the right....looks like a Monday as the washings out.My interest was I worked in printers joined onto the pub and I think this was just b4 they were formed......In the 70's the back to backs had been knocked down...not long though....and we played footie in lunch hour on the site.
 
Very interesting drawing in Post #155 Pedro. My umpteen times gt grandfather (wrong side of the blanket) gave his address as Deritend Bridge but I think the one in the picture was built in the early 1800's. Can't remember the exact date.
 
I have moved all posts relating to the discussion about Digbeth Coach Station to the dedicated thread below.

Thread 'Digbeth Coach Station.'

The new Digbeth coach station opens on Monday 7th December.
It should be a far cry from the old one even though it is only a re-clad and roof taken off the vehicle area.
Here's a couple of photos I took off our friends at Skyscraper City.
