An excellent sharp photograph of Digbeth Institute, a building also known as Digbeth Civic Hall. The building still stands but much has changed, particularly the shopping facilities on the ground floor. Here one can see the neat and tidy shop frontages of Boots, a BSA Cycle outlet, Digbeth Electrical and, at No.77, a shop operated by I. W. Bassovitch. The shops are flanked by the Bull's Head and Old Bull's Head public houses. Digbeth Institute has served many different uses in recent years however it was originally designed for community and civic use. In 1944 Wallace Lawler founded the Public Opinion Action Association, a forum which met weekly at Digbeth Institute.
