This postcard is labelled the New YMCA. Any ideas of where it was? I know there was a YMCA on Constitution Hill, at the bottom of Snow Hill, but this doesn't look like that area. Viv.
I realise this is a very old thread, but I'm delighted to have found it. My grandfather worked at the Danish Bacon Company before the second world war - he learnt to drive the company truck, and then became a driver in the war with the RASC. The DBC held his job for him and he went back to it in 1946 after he'd demobbed. He stayed there for 18 months and then accepted a new position as warehouse manager in Coventry.Can someone else make out where this was in Birmingham ? i cant remember ever seeing a danish bacon company in
Birmingham before ........... ragga :upset:

The land of St. Peter’s was purchased by George Cadbury for £6,500 pounds before September 1st. 1901 for the YMCA. The building cost £40,000 and was opened by the Duke of Argyll in 1904.This postcard is labelled the New YMCA. Any ideas of where it was? I know there was a YMCA on Constitution Hill, at the bottom of Snow Hill, but this doesn't look like that area. Viv.
Possibly High Street, with Union Street below her late Majesty's photo, Union St now of course pedestrianised. I think, only guess, it's the Big Top site which previously had been flattened by Luftwaffe bombs.Found this the other day , where in Birmingham was it taken ??
