As you I have always thought of all the streets roads and thoroughfares within the boundary of Birmingham as "streets of the city" and I have always thought of going to the centre of Birmingham as "going up town".
Looking at my library of photos of Birmingham Centre I have 3,516 images of Birmingham City Centre none of which are the Bull Ring, having 568 more of those which means I could put a different image of the city centre up every day for over 10 years, but life for myself and those viewing the thread would get pretty boring if I did. As it was myself that started this thread back in May 2011 I think I know best what I meant for the thread and as I have said there are many photos included on this thread that are not of the City Centre.
So I will continue to post photos that I think will be of interest to members of the forum be they in the city centre or outside it, this one is Harborne High Street in 1908, it certainly looks more sedate than it does today.
