Does anyone remember the 'Coffee Bars' in the city! I used the 'ESPRESSO' in Martineau St. We would congregate there in the early 50s to do our homework. Pupils from Handsworth Tech: & George Dixons Grammar.(in fact I met my first wife there later working behind the bar). and then there was 'El Sombrero' in Horsefair...had a coffin for a Bartop...had many a punchup there!!
