I remember the Woodman where I spent many a happy hour !
I think Smith Stone & Knight paper mill was on Cattells Grove and also W.H Rooke an engineering factory.
 
My brother had his 21st birthday held up stairs there....
There wasn't much space, but we had a live band called 'Micky and The Raves'.
I worked with Micky (Michael Hardwick) at Moyle and Adams on Sutton Rd, just passed 'The Yenton' Erdington .
What a night that was I really enjoyed it....!

Just picked up on this, a bit late, i know!!
I remember Frank Gordon very well. Scrap metal dealer, drove a silver grey S1 Bentley.
He was our "manager", of a pop group i was drummer in. We turned up to a few bookings in the Bentley!
I was in his yard one day when a young lad about 10yrs old came in with a sack full of brass door knockers and letterboxes. 10 bob changed hands, Big wink from Frank!Did he live in Coleshill? Lost touch mid 60's.
