Oisin,


I think the tailors you and Charlie are thinking about was Zissmans who had shops on Dale End, Bull St and Stratford Rd Sparkhill.

I like the gated shop entrance. Also we used to have a Preedys in Cov.

it's the name Seaman rather than the being a Tailor that I am after. I am guessing they may have been Tailors.

What a nice clean picture. I suspect there was a lot of dodging and burning (now made obsolete by digital editing) during the processing to produce that print... :encouragement: Oh, and I never knew that had been a Dunlop property on the left! :cower:

 

[Frothblower]

Brilliant clear photos :encouragement:

Station Street looking towards the Market Hall

The photo is prior to 1934 as the trans were removed from Satation Street that year. Not clear from the photo but there is a stretch of double track where the tram is standing otherwise the tram would have a problem!
