With the demise of public toilets, our phone boxes seem to have devolved to pissoires.

Everything worked and worked well Phil , the streets were really clean too, bus's ran regularly and were in the main on time, and inexpensive.Paul
yes very handy. i notice the wall back of the clock is railway brickwork,is there a line there. that bloke was saying to him sitting "were did you get that hat"The Bridge Inn in Monument Road in 1959 with some unusually placed street furniture. Instead of being against the wall that bench looks rather close to the road, and a Bundy Clock usually near kerbs is against the wall. The cast iron urinal has it's own gas lamp which was useful. I suppose it all made sense.
yes alan mate i di taHI LLoyd
do you remember the old type gas light where a chap on a bike would come around the streets lighting up the lights at a certain time also do you ever recall him coming around with his big stick to snubb them out even up terraces and back yards where ever there was one

There is a railway line there and it was an important place at one time with sheds there. There is also the BCN Main Line canal as well.yes very handy. i notice the wall back of the clock is railway brickwork,is there a line there. that bloke was saying to him sitting "were did you get that hat"
I expect that the reason the traffic lights were 'masked' was as an air raid precaution. Read out of context one might imagine that Brummies didn't understand these new-fangled lights!Confusing traffic lights in September 1939. Viv.
Judging by the wheel hubs I think you are rightis that an old ,"stacked Headlight", Merc, 73/74, in the background. ? Paul
How strange. I’m all for keeping history alive but this is odd. Visitors are already confused about findin their way around Brum. Maybe it’s part of a mystery trail ie the featured points of interest no longer exist or are in the wrong place !!! Ha ha. Viv.
