Lyn,
Brilliant photo where did you get it from, our signshop was this side of Ryder St. on the left of the picture.
The third shop along was run by an old lady where we used to buy our
milk and tea from, right at the far end to the right was Gilmans drysalters where we used to buy all our materials from.
Cheers John.

Hi Lyn,
That is the corner of James Watt St, on the other side to the left was Coleshill St.
The first photo is further along Stafford St. on the next corner.
I am coming to Birmingham on Sunday to the Nelson parade, I will get a copy of the mag then.
Thanks for posting, bought back a few memories.
John.

With the now defunct Central Fire Station in the background, firemen are tackling a a blaze in Stafford Street while four young lads find it all very interesting.
