OLD AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

Carrying on down the road and we have this selection of shops and what made Hurst street " different" at its time - totally different from the City Centre and markets a few streets away

and a few more - even a proper garage doing servicing

and to finish off we have - and I am guessing Ladywell Walk or Wrottersley Street - of coure nothing left now !!

I think we are slowly turning to the right from where we were just standing, a line of old style what they would call these days Independent traders, selection of shop styles and frontages with tradition shop signs

The Avenue Public House on the Corner.

I think we have now moved further up the road and more tradition high street building - Midland Bank ( now called HSBC) public Library and a large pub on the corner, all still there - much to my surprise

The Public House is The Golden Cross.

We now move to the City Centre and Hurst Street - there was a conversation about the location months ago but I cannot recall it but I feel it was about this area -
As you can see we are outside the Hippodrome and looking across to the "Old" Fox, we are coming to the end of the redevelopment around there - very much and ancient and modern as we will see

The pub’s now called the Sly Old Fox, reopened last year.
