i have always admired those 2 photos viv...the pub looks to be on a corner but not certain...gt russell st was a long streetAnyone know what the pub was on the left (with black lanterns) second photo ? These Phyllis Nicklin photos really captured Birmingham in the 1960s. In my mind, everywhere seemed to be in the process of demolition and/or redevelopment. Any bus journey would take you through building site after building site. At the time I remember thinking it was for the better - being young, we liked new development and new buildings. May not have for been for the better in all cases (and in the long term) but at the time it made us feel part of a city making progress. Viv.
it could be pete..the photo looks to me to be heading down towards farm st and i dont know how many pubs were on gt russell st...difficult to pinpoint this one at the min..will take a look at the gt russell st thread it may give us some clues but from memory i think there was a pub just before farm stwas it the The Justice?
I think it is the St. Matthias PH, the 'lantern' is a sign saying smoke room.
