You need to search the internet under the heading, "Birmingham Gun Quarter". There is history and pictures to be found. Photographs/slides taken by Phyllis Nickling A member of the staff at Birmingham University, are available on the internet they record the changes taking place in Birmingham 1950-1960.These slides include shots of the Birmingham gun Quarter at a time that the area was being redeveloped including construction of a a new road system. Frankly may of the old buildings seen are very dilapidated and are awaiting demolition, for example Greener,s offices and factory on St; Marys Row. Fortunately the City Of Birmingham has recently seen fit to Classify the Gun Quarter as a place of Historical importance.
