I am trying to find an old picture of St Gabriel's church which was 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 after suffering bomb damage in WWII.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful please.
Thank you.

You need to contact Birmingham Archives:- http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satelli ... ineWrapper

Maybe something in their On Line Catalogue.

Found this:- St Gabriel's Church, Pickford Street and Barn Street was designed by J A Chatwin. It was consecrated in 1869. A parish was assigned out of St Martin's, Birmingham, and St Bartholomew's, Birmingham in 1869, and enlarged by a further part of St Bartholomew's, Birmingham in 1939. The living, a perpetual curacy in 1869, became a vicarage in 1885 and was in the gift of the bishop. The church was badly damaged by enemy action in 1941 and ceased to be used for public worship. The building was officially closed in 1945 and the benefice united with St. Martin, Birmingham in 1958.
