I was just researching something else when I came across something that has made me wonder if I made an error when I named building number 5 on Peg's photo as Lloyd House. I think now there is more of a possibility that it might be in fact The Post & Mail Building.
Phil, I think timing is crucial here, "my" pic was taken 1975, now my last memory of that part of the city puts Lloyd House close to the Mail offices, in your last shot Lloyd House has gone I wonder when it was demolished? So there was a time when Lloyd House stood alone, another period when Lloyd House and the Mail offices stood side by side and another time when the Mail offices stood alone. So the question is was Lloyd House standing alone in 1975? - perhaps other threaders can assist?
Peg.
P.S.
Trivia: Why was Lloyd House so named? The office block was once the HQ of the giant steel maker Stewart & Lloyd, which became part of British SteeI. After that of course it became the HQ of West Midlands Police.
P.P.S.
Great shot of the Mail offices, by the way. I've tried to date it using the cars but no luck.
