    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    Yes, it does at first glance look like Holy Trinity, but Holy Trinity doesn't have the small, castellated building on the left. Also, the road layout is all wrong

    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    The daddy long legs club

    Hi Taxi Tom! A great list of clubs you've listed there! Do you know where, or on which street, the International Club was situated? It sort of rings a bell, but I'm not sure. Best wishes Alf Rogers

    Doctors

    My GP, in Perry Barr from 1984, was Dr. Indu Chakma, who'd come from Bangladesh to the UK back in 1965. What a lovely man he was! Always cheerful, and had time to listen to you. Once, I felt quite ill and asked to see him as a matter of urgency. I staggered into his surgery, he took one look at...
