damascus,
I attend college and university in Birmingham during the 1950's and early 1960's. Over the past 50 years I visited Birmingham most years,always making a point of visiting the the Gun quarter, Powell's and Westley Richards.
Fortunately I did take pictures of the Gun Quarter before and after the construction of the ring road that resulted in the destruction of majority of the buildings in gun quarter.
For years it has been my intention to publish same but I never seem to find time to complete my research.
Picture of the Birmingham gun quarter during its destruction can be found on the web site of the late Phyllis Nicklin, a researcher at Birmingham university.
