Description:The premises of Geo. Oram & Company, 187 and 188 Broad Street, Birmingham. In directories the company is described as 'house furnishers' and their shop was on the south side of Broad Street between Bishopsgate Street and Granville Street. George Oram had started as a cabinet maker and continued in Broad Street for many years, but by 1920 the shop is no longer listed. The number of the shop, incidentally, betrays the slightly unusual practice of continuous numbering along the north side of Broad Street and then back down the other side. The building just visible on the right is Immanuel Parish Church.
