Clarence Studios, Birmingham?
« on: Saturday 14 March 20 01:35 GMT (UK) »
This stamp is on the back of a photo dated Sept 24, 1945. It looks like Clarence Studios and the lower line is Birmingham. I'm stumped on the word before Birmingham if anyone knows. Also does anyone have info on this photo studio

All I can see is "ST" in the middle, so my guess is that the rest of it is an address.

Possibly Broad St. In 1945 it would have consisted of commercial outlets & shops.

The Birmingham Mail 07 October 1944 has an advert for Clarence Studios 20B Temple Street.
In 1947 they were at  223, Ladypool Road. Sparkbrook

And the winner is Stan: 20B Temple St, Birmingham! Thank you all so much. Having the suggestions enabled me to enhance the other letters more and knowing what I was looking for helped a lot. Does anyone know if this business is still in operation? I wonder if so, are there any old records as to who was the subject of the photo by the number on the back?
