Back into the city Centre and the Waterloo Bar in New Street, love the large sign for Billiards, and the large portico which is an imposing look, top end of New street - is this where the RBSA is / was - hard to locate as all my reference addresses have moved - was going to say near the Halifax BS but that went ages ago too!!

Yes it was there Steve although you had'nt got all that portico and columns all over the pavements in the late 50'/60's

Moving onto Paradise Street now and somewhere else which has under gone change - from the centre building with the three eaves all the building to the left have disappeared and not for the best, another glass fronted box with no real architectural merit - not compared with what was there before. Was Stanford and Mann in this block?
