I’m not sure that this is the Lozells Picture House. Architecturally it does not resemble the building in the other photograph, nor does it resemble the Lozells Picture Theatre that replaced the Picture House after only 11 years. It would be interesting to know what cinema this delightful building was.

The Bull Ring Cinema building was demolished in October 2017 to make way for a mixed development of apartments and offices called Beorma Quarter.

It is worth noting that this cinema was not in Birmingham. It is in Olton which is part of Solihull, which has never been in Birmingham, and is fiercely independent from its larger neighbour. The cinema was about 300 yards away from the boundary between Birmingham and Solihull.

Building up for auction Dec 2015. There is planning permission has been granted for its regeneration, which would see its Grade A locally listed façade retained while the fire damaged structure at the back is to be demolished. The refurbished building would include a shop on the ground floor with 14 two-bedroom apartments above.
