As a child in the '60s I remember watching this. It had a haunting theme music and for one series was set in Birmingham and starred Alfred Burke as the private detective, Frank Marker...

Any ideas if this was for a film or television show...

Apologies if this has been posted before.

I came stumbled across WA Green purely by accident. He was a prolific artist, working mainly in pen and ink. He died in 1984 and his pen and ink drawings are of buildings and landscapes of Birmingham and the Midlands, his work was published in local newspapers and magazines. Here's the link to a...

My jaw dropped when I saw this photograph on 'The Old Pics of Brum' on Facebook. I've never seen it before and it's astonishing! It was taken during Birmingham's Wings for Victory Week 1943 (Photo: Brumpic on Twitter). Wings For Victory weeks were held across the country beginning in March 1943...

I have vague memories of this as my mother took me up Aston Road North to the ABC Studios hoping to see them... Holland Road outside the studios of ABC TV in Birmingham, Sunday, October 20, 1963.

Villiers Street Winson Green (1970s?)

Apologies, no date.

This photograph was taken in 1947. Interesting to note that it was called Goldsmiths and Jewellers Arms at this time.

Felt quite sad when I read this and I wonder if anyone can help with a query. I remember the WH Smith shop in Corporation Street beside Yates's Wine Lodge and had only just started using it when it closed down around September / October 1974 and opened it's 'new' shop in on the old Henry's site...

I remember St Silas Square in May 1976 with the blossom trees in bloom, that still is in my memory after all these years.

Found this recently, it's dated August 1973, does anyone remember it?

I used to go to Pollyanna's regularly from 1975, I think it was called Revolution before that (from what I can recall from the ads in The Birmingham Evening Mail at that time). I Stumbled across this advertisement the other day, it shares the same address as Pollyanna's. Was it a nightclub that...

I couldn't find this on the site but I think it's worth a mention (apologies if it is listed elsewhere). For me the television drama works on many levels; it has an interesting storyline (feel free to disregard the music but I still quite like it) and it gives an amazing account of what...

Date of photograph 13th June, 1960.

Photograph dates from the 1970s / 1980s.

Sorry, no date for the photograph but the pub didn't appear to change much up to when I lived in Erdington in the 1980s.
