Passages, Alleyways Gulletts and Snickets of Old Brum

[paul stacey]

Looking at Mickejee's map what strikes me, is the greenery everywhere, looks just like a village, given the early date, 1731, the industrial revolution, hadn't kicked in yet, astonishing when I put this area, into my time frame, of 1950's early 60's!!!

NEEDLESS ALLY - (1950’s) cars even parked on the pavement then

I think this advert for St George's Commercial Tavern shows the entrance to Corn Exchange Passage from High Street .... and maybe a view of the Corn Exchange building in the distance.
The 1849 Post Office Directory lists St George's coach office (shown on the left of the archway) at 45 High Street, adjacent to Corn Exchange Passage.
