Birmingham Archives have photographs from 1961. These are not digitised though. I don't know if this is any use to you.

Hi Stokkie, thank you very much for your reply, I clicked the link but it comes up with a blank search result as though the search has timed out. I will try again. I am after a view inside the subway around that time frame within the 90s would be ideal but it seems very rare if not impossible to find any. Thanks again!

Sorry Trabo,
I found these by searching Calmview for 'Hurst Street Subway'. Screenshot of results. Alas Birmingham Archives are tricky to use. You will need an Archives Card (which you can use in many UK archives). Then you need an appointment at the Wolfson Centre. But once you have these the staff are helpful in my experience.
