Hi Phill, sorry to be pedantic here, but I lived as a youth 100 yards from the church in Markfiueld Road.. I just ggogled the church and thy are celebraring the 50th aniversary of the church in 2011. So it would date back as I thought to around 1961 www.st-toms.com Regards Geoff

No it was way before 1969, I left the area in 1968 and sadly my dearest friend had had a funeral service in 1966. I'm pretty sure it was opened around 61-62

I'm pretty sure that the 60's built church on Garrets Green Lane, Shekdon is called St Thomas

Loved this, but please what was the song called and who sang it, so very haunting and probably appropriate

If it fronted New Street, It was deffinately Marchall and Snelgrove and is now the Brittania??? Hotel

Silver Blades was the Ice Rink Above that was the heartbeat club and on the ground floor was the Bowling Alley. the entrance was a series of ranps from the bowling alley up to the Rink then up to the night club....I believe it is due or has re-opened

It was originally called the Gilded Cage and was an M & B pub. Don't recall when it closed, but it was a very rough establishment

The Parisian was st the bottom of canon Street, I was in there there night of the Pub Bombings

It became the Newt & Cucumber I think

Youre absolutely correct, in fact Eddie owned 8 clubs altogether, hence the name of his last one Edwards Number 8. His Brother Don, together with Geoff Weston - Edwards owned Faces at five ways and the Revolution in Newhall Street, which was to become Polyannas, I managed The Revolution when it...

would you be thinking of the Garry Owen club, which at one time was the Cavern club I think

It was below what was then the savoy casino at the bottom of hill street

About my luck these days sadly!!!!!
