Hi All. Sorrry for the delay. I am trying to upload pics but its not working. Derek

Hi Willey. Are you sure they went to MGH for treatment. MGH was not an A&E hospital, it was a maternity hospital and didn't have the facilities for stitching. While I was working there, someone walked in with chest pain and the staff dialed 999.

Hi Guys What a fantastic thread. Please keep up the research. Derek

I totally agree. the hospital was a fantastic place to work because it was a 'happy event' hospital although there were some wards associated with surgical problems. But glad the photo's are bringing back memories. Degsy

Thanks Len, Do you know the house number in Vera Road that your friend lived. I lived at No 12 to which my daughter now lives. Many many thanks for your clear explanation, which has had us stumped for a long time Derek

These would seem to be two incidents. I lived in Vera Road during the 1980's & 90's and found a bungalow now built after one of the bombings. But the first picture does not make sense and we cannot place it. Much help needed here.

More pics of Vera Road. But can't yet figure out which house numbers. Help needed here.

Facinating is the word. I have recently discovered a News reel shot during WWII with a family member being interviewed while serving in the RAF. I have sent it away to have it transfered to DVD.

Hi All Can anyone help with information on the old bowling green in Stirchley located behind the old swimming baths and meeting house, which is part of Stirchley Park. There is now only a faint outline where the green used to be and the builds have been demolished. Degsy

Hi all I have posted many photos of MGH as I was an Electrician there for 12 years. I would like to thanks all those who have posted stories as they bring back fantastic memories of a happy hospital. Many thanks Degsy

Hi All Can anyone help me regarding The Swan Pub during the late 1960's. My brother was a DJ (The Lyndon Sounds) at The Swan on Tuesday and Sunday evening. I was only 15 years of age at the time and have very little memory. He supported such acts as 'Johnny Johnson and the Band Wagon'. Also...
