Not one I’ve heard of before. It’s labelled as Great Francis Street in c1910. Does it ring any bells ? Viv.

Thanks Mike. Looks like they didn’t have the sign repainted after the merger with Henry Mitchell’s brewery 12 years earlier ! Viv.
 
Yes Kieron, you are right, I did not look closely at the photo, just put on map of the Junction in Gt Francis St. The Kellys for 1900,1903,1904.1908,1910, 1912,1913, 1915 and 1921 do not list any publican named B. Brookes (think its Benjamin, but not certain)
 
According to Hitchmoughs BC pubs, Benjamin Brookes was landlord of the Junction, 94 Bridgeman St ,Walsall in 1930-35. so date was a bit off. The street was now all been demolished
