Gone but not forgotten R.I.P.
Funny little road, I wonder what it was used for, what are the origins of the name,did anyone live there? where did it go to? Any point in it still being there? Perhaps some of our newer members may know the answers. Also, what's the point of double yellow lines? Nobody in their right mind would want to park there.

It seems to have appeared between 1873 and 1876. the only firm listed in it is
Cund Bros, lithographers & printers, who . I think, were on the south side between it and the railway line and also had an entrance on Moor St.
For a large part of its length it does seem to follow the railway line, but doesn’t seem to have been build at the same time as the line but later.

This map of 1885
Shows the railway line, but not Paternoster Row so it most have been cut after then.

As a youngster i was based in Moor St , We used to fix the electrics in all the firms that used the arches under the railway lines from Moor St to Elliot St (Guests Owned most of them) we used to always walk down Paternoster Row as it was the shortest route (when carrying a heavy tool box) they used this Row to barrow all their goods up to the market, that way they didn,t have to cross Digbeth.

According to one book I have on Birmingham street names, it probably takes its name from the one in London, as does Islington Row. Strange little place - if anyone did live there once, they would not have got much sleep!

Great photo Nello. Britain from Above is a wonderful site.
very sad photo rob...i had to stand and watch the fox and grapes being demolished after many months of trying to save it....still at least i came away with a couple of bricks ..i was determined that if it had to go i was not walking away empty handed

This is supposed to show Paternoster Row. Is it, what looks like, the pathway coming towards the photographer ? It just doesn’t seem to tie up with the more modern images on this thread which seem to show it almost like a closed in alleyway with a brick wall along it. Viv.

trainspotters getting the best of both worlds sitting on the wall at Paternoster Row Birmingham in 1952. Beneath them are the lines into New Street station whilst in the background, an ex-GWR 4-6-0 Hall class locomotive passe Moor Street station and enters Snow Hill tunnel.
