Smallbrook Street

Ref Post #28 ....
This clearer copy of the photo shows that it's the junction of Smallbrook Street with Tonk Street (later renamed Hill Street) and Hurst Street.
Another wonderful photo from Henry Joseph Whitlock dated 1867 .... full of detail and interest.

1962 Vivienne? I thought Birmingham women wore more up-to-date clothes than those shown in the photo.

Another photo of Smallbrook Street from photographer Henry Joseph Whitlock dated 1867. This view is looking towards Tonk Street (later Hill Street) from the Dudley Street junction. It shows the north side of Smallbrook Street from Number 2 .... the premises of Thomas Deakin, Tailor. It appears that Whitlock liked to have people posing in his photos.

Substantial and smart building, unfortunately despite the many signs declaring 'this building is not coming down' it of course did.
