Should be three trees! I will tell Mr Bloye when I see him.
The BMI lecture mentioned dates this year but at the time building and finances looked a bit out, but I think a bit a faith is needed and hope there is a big fuss with the bicentenary of Watt planed in the summerStapes, when and where ? Eric
When Mr Bloye recast the Queen Vic statue, it was installed on the plinth, I got the job of carving the inscription.The statue was missing some parts at first.Been told statues usually packed away in crates, did you by any chance ask staff there.
This how they did look when I left in 1957 for the USA I think the City should remove the gold and bring them back to the original finish. By the way I had to laff when Mr Bloye was working on them The three male models in full costume would be out back of the studio smoking fags and joking around. Is anyone else, who is a member of this group, that worked for Mr Bloye, the same time I did 1948 (Age 15) to 1951 (when I went in the RAF) I would love to swap stories. Of course, I was the youngest there then, so most are probably long gone now
Is there anything left of the Downtown Birmingham, I knew in 1957 when I left?
