new street

[mariew]

I bought these two photos from an antiques fair, they may have been posted before, but I will post them just in case they haven't, they show New Street from the town hall and from high street in 1895, I think they are lovely all the horse and carriages and the beautiful street lamps.

Thanks. Lovely photos - and you can never have too many lovely photos of Old Brum!

 

[mariew]

They are lovely pictures but they haven't come out as well as I thought, I could make them bigger.

They are just great as they are maeiew.why can I never find Gem like that?

Mariew, what a super find. Similar ones have been posted before but not those I think. Christ Church is still on the corner by the statue and would be for a few more years. I think these would be contemporary with the one of the Old Wharf showing the canal basins and in the distance the church spire. Well done.

I love the way that copper is walking down the middle of the road, I'd like to see him do it there today.:lol:

Frothblower I couldn't agree more he is so clear, I only wish I had bought more of these photos, but there were that many people there I just got them and got out of the crowd, I can't stand crowds.
