Station Street Birmingham

[Vivienne14]

Given the move to save Station Street, here are some older images of how it once looked. Just a few of the buildings to the right still exist, and the present day efforts to save its cultural history would also preserve some of the few remaining buildings.

So little left after the 1960s development.

And today - ghost sign (at the rear in Hinckley Street) on the wall of the former Tatler (News) Theatre (latterly Electric Cinema, but closed 2024)

Can someone please confirm if there was a Militaria collectors shop on Station St. late 1960s or early-mid '70s 2 or 3 doors down from The Crown?
I seem to remember going there with my Dad and definitely remember going up some stairs to a show/sales room where the owner had a dummy dressed in a full Nazi SS Officers uniform, complete with all regalia.

Yes, there was. I never went inside, but looked at the window display. There is always a market and a fascination for such things. There are also lots of fakes originating from Eastern Europe.
