    One of my favourites of the old Birmingham collection, dated 17th September 1961, still at school aged 14, the colmore row view see enlargement. I remember the j Lyon’s tea bar and restaurant that was on the corner that led into new street. The corner was demolished in 1970, there was also a photographic shop as well . It was opposite the council house . I used to go in the restaurant a lot in the 1960s and have a pot of tea and sandwiches, there was a downstairs part of the restaurant which served the same as the ground floor, it was nice and cool down there on a hot day. It was open till 10pm at night, I used to have a look in the camera shop which sold secondhand cameras , Leica and rolleiflex were among the top end models, shame it all came down in 1970 to make space for gardens and benches for visitors.see internet galloways corner Birmingham.
