A view into Queen's Head Yard in Birmingham, which is badly run-down. The photograph was possibly taken in the nineteenth century as there is a cart further down the alley and no signs of modernisation. The ground is cobbled with no tarmac visible anywhere. The queen's head appears in the 'penny black' sign above the doorway to a public house on the right hand side.
