This was originally the Delicia cinema; built in 1923. Soon after WW2, it was taken over by the BBC. However, part of the right side wing and basement was the Auto Spring Company. It was a wholesale supplier of car components.

Central Fire Station. Fond memories of fire displays here when they would play jets of coloured water up the hose drying tower to 'The Posthorn Gallop'as the grand finale.

St Mary's. A lost square of Old Birmingham. By the time this photograph was taken it had already lost its octagonal church and my 4GGrandfather's butcher's shop in Weaman Row.

The King Edward PH. A wonderful building from about 1905 but now sadly unoccupied.

The BBC Theatre, then the Arts Lab. Who knows what it is now.

It was also the Delicia Cinema before it was the BBC. My Mom & Dad used to go there. It is now EBRI (European Bioenergy Research Institute). They kept the front of the building.

I have been told that the old public fountain has survived and was re-located. Yet to find it though.

Good grief. It's the Duke of York PH in Duke Street. Sadly long gone. It was the last street in Birmingham to have its gas lights removed.
