gone but not forgotten
Note: Many photos in the original 'Courtyards and Yards of Brum' thread started by Astoness (Lyn) were linked to Photobucket who recently changed the terms and replaced the pics with their 'third party' images as can be seen in the original thread https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/courtyards-and-yards-of-brum.40378/
The pics have been extracted out of Photobucket and temporarily put in this thread complete with many of the original comments. (THE PHOTOS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED INTO THE ORIGINAL THREAD)

lovely looking thru these photos..... so am now hoping that there are still some photos around of the following(for my ancestry files!) - Trafalgar terrace, Latimer St (circa 1901), Owen St (Circa 1910), Brighton Terrace, Hope St (circa 1910-1920), Whitehead St (Circa 1920), Pickford St (Circa 1920's30's) any of this???
 
....and then in the 1950's - am assuming it was a newly built area (to replace bombed houses?) Dart St - just down from the Brum City football club!!
 
Please note this thread only shows the recovered Photobucket pics which were lost in 2017 from the Courtyards and Yards of Brum thread. They have all been replaced in their original posts in the Courtyards and Yards of Brum which has the full complement of pics so it is best to view pics there.

If you are able to post them Carolyn, lease post them in the thread linked below as this thread was intended to be temporary I believe.

Courtyards and yards of brum

Two aerial views dated 1935 and not looking so grim on a sunny day. Count the houses back from the bend (ref the map) and possibly identify Court 2 Number 60. Another lower res view dated 1921 shows the street and how densely packed the housing was in the area. The arrow points from Ryland...
