Mystery Location

I was almost sure it was the kings Arms on the corner of Bishopsgate St & William St but I still am unable to place the TV shop in either street.

Hi Lyn,Firstly the shape of the roof,then if it was taken on Lichfield Rd you would see the railway bridge and finally there isn't a road directly opposite The Swanpool.
Good shout Phil.

In that case the pub would be the bulls Head, later the city Tavern, and the street beside it Tennant St. that is different from the picture below, taken in 1901, unless there was a lot of rebuilding

I,m a little confused with this one the Bulls Head was one of my stopping off points before going to the Tower Ballrooom so i knew it quite well. would i be right in saying that the Radio and Television shop was in Tennent St (looking down from Islington Row) i cannot see it being anywhere else in relation to the pub.
