Hi Anthony, this is the only picture of Plume Street I have ever found, unfortunately, it doesn't show a lot, it is one of Ray Griffith's wonderful collection. I would also like to obtain some photographs of Plume Street as a few of my ancestors lived there.

Managed to find this out about the Perfecta Tube and Conduit Company of Plume Street, Aston, Birmingham. This is written in 1918 just at the end of WW1.
