Tamworth

What Lovely pictures of Tamworth I lived there in the 60s we lived on Station fields caravan park for 3 years. ( By the railway station ) Then we moved to Glascote. I still have a black and white print of Tamworth Town hall on my wall that a friend gave me when I left. I thought it was a nice place to live in those days.
 
tamworths not that bad
ive been here 28 years and it has its good and bad points like everywhere else
one thing i will say if tamworth had been left alone instead of having the heart ripped out of it , it would have mad a lovely historical town
all it is now is a mish mash of ugly 1960's buildings in ghost town
as since ventura has been built most people in including myself tend to do our shopping there
 
Great pics, I think Tamworth has the best shopping areas around & sports for all
JUST A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT & SHOP
 
Two places I always visit when I am in the Birmingham area. One is Tamworth
and the other is Lichfield. I have great memories of both places. Tamworth especially. I shall have to go and have a look at Ventura.
 
Theses are just 4 pics of me trying to get my head round wind surfing at that lake at Tamworth when the wind was non existant LOL:D
 
Tamworth today

The gardens always look lovely at this time of year. A nice setting for weddings that now take place at the castle.

I haven't been to Tamworth in years, is there still a lido there? A neighbour took us swimming there one summer.
 
Well done Dave. How good to see how many youth organisations and other young people were on that parade. My own grandson paraded with his cub pack today, proudly wearing his Grt. grandad's medals.
