This photo is described as being in Coventry Road, Hay Mills.. Looking at Directories I have access to, I have not been able to find them. There is a
Robert Lane , fruiterer in Stratford Road, Sparkhill in the 1880s .

The wall plaque "Excelsior' could narrow it down if the building still exists.

There's a Kate Lane listed at 865 Coventry Road on the ERs which was near Heybarnes Road on the opposite side of the road. Where Asda is, so no longer exists.
