Oh yes, of course.The Brummies old speedway track. Thanks. Would their old track still've been in use in the mid 70's i wonder? I went to see the Brummies a few times when i was i kid. Don't ever remember visiting the dog track so this makes sense.

I recognise the old Birchfield Harriers running track which is now Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium but was this also a running track? circled. OneStop shopping center occupies the area now of course.

Re: BEER CELLAR ( KELLAR ) Hi cartwright Please, please post photos. I'd absolutely love to see them. Bogarts was unique with an amazing atmosphere. No pub or bar i've been in since comes close. I suppose being alot younger helps. I always look twice when i walk past the location today. Best...

Re: BEER CELLAR ( KELLAR ) I remember Bogarts and I want it back! Great times in there. Was the DJ called Martin? A really nice guy. A night in Bogarts was like an event man. I too, never went down into the beer keller.

Air raid shelters in the car park of Wylde Green Co Op just as Robb128s info. I think it's great that they're still around. Reckon with Birmingham council, if it was economically viable, these shelters would been long gone. That's a great picture lencops. I've now got to get over to Yardley!

This doesn't suprise me. The government always knows best. :rolleyes: robb128 shelters in Co op car park Wylde Green. Around here Robb?

Wow! I think I'd like an air raid shelter outside my house. When visitors call 'round I'd say, "can i show you the air raid shelter?" You know the situation is bad when the council start building air raid shelters in the street! What people went through. Dear me. Thanks pmc1947 for the...

An air raid shelter? Something to do with the water board..... or a tram terminus? opposite view

This image shows how much change has occured. No first or second floor above the entrance. The whole premises down below ground floor.

That's a good photo of Cannon St, Barr Beacon. With a car. I prefered it when the roads were still open to cars. New Street is a bit too comfortable these days. And who planted all the trees? You can't see the buildings because of the trees. This isn't suburbia. It's Birmingham New Street where...
