Thinking on the theme of, #263, though not in Birmingham, my wife's grandfather was carter, started at 13 as a plough boy, he spoke often that he started each day at 3 30am, spent an hour grooming and dressing his 2 plough horses, preparing the plough , and regularly walked 12, 15, miles a day...

looks like TA parade?

It was probably a local tribal well, the ancient britons worshipped water sources, the Roman' s used to keep these as a special place to keep the local tribes on side. They also had their own water deities, and would leave offerings also !!

Yes, they did Lemonella!!

Looking at the picture Mark, I seem to remember Birmingham, exactly like that, and what a great place it looks. Looking around now, what a change ????!!!

Thank you very much down memory Lane, very kind of you, I paid a large sum in the 70's for my PS 3755, came from Scotland from a 1920's "shooting Brake", from one of the large estates. Sold it, with my XJ6, to Peter Salt, Builder , Somersham Cambs, in 1983.

Thanks Lyn, ROD 90. and PS 3755. much obliged!!

Lagonda, was a lovely car Lyn, and peredicious in its time. I wonder if my old numbers are still in existence??

I think I have said before, my famous number was ROD 90, on a Wolsey!! I imagine it would be worth a pretty penny now, In the 1970's , I had my initials, PS 3755, plate on my Jaguar XJ6.

Remember Dr Judge Weoley Castle Square, there was another at bottom of Quarry Hill, on Gregory Avenue.

although only 6, by 1953, I remember vividly, riding on the trams, to the Licky Hills from Edgbaston!!
