Oh my word, I am going to love this thread I have just found. I am smiling so much my face hurts and I have only looked at a few pages. The photos are fab, thank you all. SueYes! Fox furs and feather boas purchased in the rag market. Alongside second hand old crepe dresses, cut on the bias, that were made in 30's .
You might find some pics to smile at in the thread below .... it all started when I saw a bloke pushing a pram in 1940 ...Oh my word, I am going to love this thread I have just found. I am smiling so much my face hurts and I have only looked at a few pages. The photos are fab, thank you all. Sue
Hi oldMohawk, Thank you so much for the link, will enjoy this thread I am sure. Great photo. Funnily enough I know the Beeches pub and the surrounding area. Obviously a bit different in modern day, in more ways than one. Regards SueYou might find some pics to smile at in the thread below .... it all started when I saw a bloke pushing a pram in 1940 ...
They Were Caught In Our Old Street Pics...
A light hearted look at some of our old street pics. I enjoy looking at the buildings but often see a pic with people in it and find myself trying to imagine what they were doing, and what they were thinking .... Some photos are links to other member's posts and will not be visible unless you...birminghamhistory.co.uk
My late father, Stewart Hughes, initially owned the West End Stamp Co after taking it over from the Norfolk Stamp Co, and sold the business to Simon I believe in the early 1980's. He is visible in the attached 1974 photo.The stamp dealer on Needless Alley was The Norfolk Stamp Co
I remember this shop in the 70s & 80s as West End Stamps run by Simon - who still sells at shows in Dorridge and the Irish Centre
The West End Stamp Co. My late father owned the business.It's the stamp dealer in Needless Alley that I remember.
I can't remember the name but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.
The one in the Needless Alley was the West End Stamp Co. that was owned by my late father, Stewart Hughes.Yes I recall it as well - often looked int he window but never really got into collecting after my first album.
Many of them have been taken out over subsequent years.I wonder if there are other places with so many underpasses.
Still in store. They were supposed to come back in Centenary Square when all the work is finished.Where are the THREE GOLDEN BOYS??/
couldnt agree with you more mike...its a city that is never finishedWell in that case never, as, when most of the work is completed, it is time to pull down something else
