Thank you

Does anyone remember the name of the bike shop that used to be on Birchfield Rd in the seventies ?

What a great shop Inferno and Tempest Records were ,I bought a lot of my record collection from them , especially all the Crass ones , In the 80's helped distribute illegal Crass flexi discs as they were forbidden give them away . I still have a Couple of Brum Beats from 1981.

This Rolls Royce of Eastwoods ?

I can remember my Nan having a small payout back in the seventies but I have contacted the shareholders association and had the share transferred over to me since my father died in 2015 (took quite a bit of doing as all done by phone and through post) ,they say they will only be worth anything...

I dont think they are worth anything to be honest ,My Grandad worked at GEC Witton and had a Gents outfitters shop on Lichfield Road Aston ,They lived in Frances Road off Slade Road

I still have my Grandads £1 share

Does anyone remember Paradise Garage ? another clothes shop next to Thomas Wolf ?

I bought my first pair of bondage trousers from there in 1979 for £20 and a couple of bondage straps to go with them at £1 each , I worked at my Saturday job for 4 weeks to pay for them . I still have one of the bondage straps .

My Dad was in the REME ,always had fond memories of the place

My Father Thomas Paine served in Tel el Kebir as part of his National Service

Any old Brummie Punk pics ?

I think if I remember rightly Second City Travel was owned by Brian Kenning the coal merchant from Erdington

Did they become Second City Travel ?
