My dad had worked for M&B, Ansells, & Atkinsons. but drank M&B, but I am teetotal. I am not against anyone drinking .in moderation. in fact we had a bar at the hotel we owned on The Prom in Blackpool. Thanks Wales for the memories.

hi jean. glad the pics bought back memories for you. mom and dad have been going to blackpool amongst other places for years so there is a very good chance they have stopped by your old hotel. they were there the other week but said it really isnt the same anymore. thats change for you. best wishes wales.:)
 
Wales, great images, thanks.

Any chance you could post a larger image of the Birmingham Arms Image 1 Sheet 4 please?

Cheers.

Dibs
 
hi dibbs. unfortunately as i dont have the originals as far as i know i cant make them any bigger. am sending you a private message. wales.:)
 
Hi lyn :)
Brilliant pics.. i don't suppose you have one of The Exchange in park Rd I had a lovely one off Phil but would like to see some more (if there is anymore out there):)
 
Hi Dibs,

I'm sure Wales won't mind, I have blown this one up as much a I dare. Its a little fuzzy but much larger. I have looked in my collection of pubs and I don't have a photo of this pub that I can let you have in its place.

Phil

hi maggie. can you just confirm which area the exhange park road was. and was it the royal exchange. lyn
 
Hi Lyn :)
I already had one of the Royal Exchange off Phil :) was just wondering if there were anymore out there it was in Park Rd just before Goode Street (as was)
