    Balsall Heath.

    Is this where you were asking for This is not Orchard Terrace. It is, however, Longbridge Road. Just before demolition I think which was around 1968. My grandparents Alfred and Verena Suckling lived directly opposite the A35 van.

    Whisky A Go Go

    Unfortunately none of the attachments will open due to the site being hacked. I saw Charlie and Inez Fox at the Whisky and either Steam Packet or Shotgun Express (always get those two bands mixed up) it was a memorable time for me and the start of my clubbing experiences
