steel house lane
hi there alf ,
                very nice pics you put on for us 
                 they are very modern compared to the old ,oldie ones 
                 would,nt there be any older ones in the archives 
                 At central libary we could get hold of 
                 i think it was around the year of 1953,to 55 ,
                 when they started to demolish the wordly old shops 
                  and premises on steel house lane if mymemory serves me right
               they was very small units of shops ,with very little tiny windows 
                 And doors ,they must have been very small people whom 
                 ran them  they was little work shops ,
                 not like todays work shops 
                 there was alot of small gun smiths oppersite the nick
                 and it was reported in 1950-51-52 or may be 53 
                 that on a saturday night there was a couple of police officiers 
                 on duty at night broke into one of the guns smiths
                 in the early hours of sunday morning
                 But they was seen and caught 
                 but getting back to the subject of the premises
                 surely sombody from the council would have some pics 
                  of these quaint shops that carry history of our dear old brum 
                 surely there mustbe some in the archives on the 6 floor 
                  thanks alf have a nice day    astonian ;;;
