Warner Brothers, and Paramount offices in the city.

[Gerry Cannell]

Hi, as a youngster of about 10 or 11 I used to spend a lot of time mooching around the city centre, back in those days, you could, without fear. I vividly remember the polished brass sign on an entrance to an office block just of Cathedral Square, maybe Bennettes Hill: "PARAMOUNT Films inc", and I imagined all the wonderful films they must be dealing with; along Bristol Street, on the same side as Bristol Street Motors was "WARNER BROTHERS". Anyone else remember them?

Yes, I remember the photograph, but in black & white. This is what MY Birmingham looked like, and I loved it back then. Thanks.
