    Default St Gabriel's Church, Deritend, Birmingham

    I am looking for a picture of St Gabriel's Church which used to be situated in Pickford Street to the west side of Barn Street in the Deritend area of Birmingham. The church opened in 1869 & closed in 1945.
    If anyone can advise me of where I might track one down I would be most grateful.
    Thank you.

    Try the Birmingham History Forum. They recently lost many of the posted photographs but if you pose the question there, you might be lucky.

    "The calvary was sent in 1948 by Ernest William Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham from Saint Gabriel`s, Deritend and was that parish's memorial of the First World War."

    is this the one?

    No, Weoley Castle is several miles away on the other side of the city. Thank you for trying to help me though, it's much appreciated.
