How about trying this backwards? We probably all know where this is....looking down Litchfield Rd from Aston Cross....one of the dwindling few pieces of Old Brum still surviving more or less intact, but does anyone have period photos or postcards showing this area in its heyday; particularly the library, the bank and York House?
 
I'm fairly sure its Soho House - Where the Lunar Society Met-- Watt , Brindley etc etc . Eic

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for.

Good job Phil, your photos were perfect. I played around with Google and got a couple of good 'now & then' comparisons. There is an incredible amount of history on this short block of properties and they have witnessed an incredible amount of change. Has all that change been for the good I wonder?
