I'm intrigued by your post, because my memory is that the 'Carlton Club' opposite the church in Erdington was only so named for a short period before it became 'Mothers' in 1968. Before around 1966 it was known as the 'Carlton Dene' ballroom, and the resident band was the 'Bob Pegg Seven', whose drummer was my friend's father.
Are you absolutely sure that this much earlier photo is from Erdington - it's a common name ?
