If you use this site https://www.old-maps.co.uk/# put in the modern postcode for St Marks Street you will be able to select from a series of old maps. (You can subscribe but you don't have to - it just limits the magnification you can have). The 1955 map shows the numbers.

Here is a map c 1950 showing the southern part of St Marks St, with 5/120 in red.

I think this shop might have been here at the junction with King Edwards Road. The building in the distance could be the flats in the modern Streetview.

From Birmingham Archives:

Date:1st of January 1969 - 31st of December 1969 (c.)

Description:No.55 St Mark's Street, Ladywood, on the corner of King Edward's Road. This street ran from Shakespeare Road to Summer Hill Road, but in 1969 when this photograph was taken the area was shortly to be redeveloped. The road is now much shorter than it used to be. In 1963 Mrs V. Cartledge is listed at this address as a beer retailer, and the photograph makes it quite plain whose beer she was selling. In the following year's directory she is no longer there.
