A great pic showing that it was still an upmarket residential area, in parts anyway. The building with the steps was the dental hospital. Jerry

just a continuation of your post, this is a photo of the Dental Hospital that you mention in your post taken sometime between 1882 & 1905 which I presume this is how long the hospital was there. Attachments:

I'm not one hundred per cent sure about this location, but I believe this building that for a short time was The Royal Orthopaedic & Spinal Hospital was on the corner that was diagonally across from the Dental Hospital shown in the other photo. In this photo c1900 it looks like it has been taken over by a hotel. Attachments:

Taking this tale a little further, a photo of the Dental Hospital that took over from the building in the earlier photo and I suppose would be prior to the one in Loveday Street. This one was just around the corner from the original one in Great Charles Street. Attachments:

Here we have a photo of the old science museum when it was still the Elkington Electroplating Works in Newhall St this photo is c1890. George Richards Elkington (17 October 1801 – 22 September 1865) was a pioneer of the electroplating process and patented the first commercial electroplating process.

Still on the same theme, but moving to the other end of Newhall St. This photo is almost at Colmore Row, in fact the edge of the building you can see on the right of the photo is the old Union Gentlemen's Club on the corner of Colmore Row and Newhall St and is one of the few building dating from that time (1891) that remain.

This is a photo of Farmers Bridge Locks that once stood behind the science museum on Newhall Street. They have now been made into a feature and can be accessed with ease from Fleet St. This photo was taken a little later than some of the others and dates from 1913. Attachments:

Here we are back in early Newhall Street, this photo shows numbers 102 to 111 which I believe puts them somewhere near Lionel Street and the GPO tower are today. Attachments:
