That could be the lad coming down the stepsI can’t see a Jack there. Perhaps there will be no end to this!

Is it a sign of getting old, I said late forties early fifties and the card clearly says 1970!!!!DUH. However all of the characters in the picture have obviously come straight from the late forties/early fifties as they are all dressed like my Dad....not the women of course. Macs, hats and suits when did we all start wearing jeans and trainers?We could have some fun with this one, Enoch Powell seems to be centre back, Eric Morecombe is next to Harold, but why will no one rush to the aid of the young lady seemingly behind abducted by a much older man just behind Eric and I am trying to remember the name of the Tory minister on the left hand side Ian something...Gow comes to mind but I think I could be wrong. However all over late forties early fifties and quite a few still wearing hats.

That`s Maggie Thatcher looking over the hedge. She`s just spotted Ringo walking down the steps. Jimmy Cagney in his best white sweater striding toward the clubhouse, "outa my way you dirty rats".Someone has just arrived and looks on from behind the hedge. Only the bloke on the veranda wearing the white mac has spotted her ...

How can I collect bus numbers with all those mini skirted females in the way. Oh hang on they are getting me a bit hot under the collar. On second thoughts forget the bus smashing picture OMThey've had a hard day in the office and just want to go home but is that No 21 bus going to stop for them?

oldmohawkHi everyone,
There was a photograph of two ladies standing at a bus stop in the forum but sadly I can't remember where. It was a large photo taken about 1950s.
I don't know where to start looking. I was hoping it was in Nechells/ Alum Rock area and I think they were off to town.
I know it a stab in the dark but I am hoping
Many thanks xx
Got the bus number this time OM, thanks, good pictureA nostalgic impression of 1970s New St/Corporation St ... memories of young couples showing their names on car windscreens. Ken speeds away from the lights in his Cortina with Sue in the passenger seat. Ken might be thinking about having some 'go-faster' stripes on the bonnet and roof of his rather bright car, while Sue could be thinking about engagement rings she had spotted in Perry Greaves while they were waiting at the lights ...

Never mind the location more pictures...of buses, oddly enough is the first picture with the odd female in that I may have passed comment on, the drivers ability to stop, how smart the bus looked, the cleanliness of the bus stop sign anywhere near Calthorpe Road? If it is they could have come from Forward Trust, because their Head Office was there and I worked for them in Plymouth.
