Where Am I? No. 104 - City Arcade in Birmingham - id by Claire.t

I don't think it's Chester - very similar

That one in Chester, I believe,   is relatively New Build in recent years, maybe the last 30 years or so.

The old arcade (off the rows) is 1910 or so, the Grosvenor Precinct is mid 60s.    They're joined together now, whereas the old one used to exit into Newgate street.

Well spotted Claire...

Hi

I think the tracery looks quite similar to the City Arcade in Birmingham

Great work Claire!    Thank you so much. Another new name to the Honour Roll. 

Don't think we've had any from Birmingham yet, so I hope there are more.  Many thanks for taking the time to search.

Thanks to everyone else as well, looks like this one caused some debate.  Thanks also for the additional pics, particularly the ones with a dash of colour.  So far I haven't got any with coloured tints, so that might have to be my next hunt.

Caz, is there writing on the bottom of your photo, or are my eyes having a wobbly 

[cazza59]

You have excellent eyesight and I saw the one you posted with writing on it, but mine does not, at least not that I can see. There are ones with writing on the back (handwriting that is), a few Frith ones which I can easily identify, plus ones that I actually know.  I have also identified ones of a certain area once one pic has been identified (e.g. Liverpool) which leaves about two thirds of them with nothing to identify them except landmarks, which are the ones I'm posting.

I also want to assure people I do own these photos, and I was rather affronted by the suggestion on another thread (not by Jool  ) that I had googled the image.

Well done Claire, although the Kingston Upon Hull one was close, the one you found is definitely closer.

I agree Malky....I did have doubts about it being Hepworth's Arcade though as the walkway looks longer in Caz's photo than the one in Hull but that could just be perspective....but...there does look to be a left turn at the bottom of the walkway.

Window at the end missing in Caz's photo? Or was photo taken from other end of arcade?
