Hi Viv, in my day the local term amongst the ranks was "Gold Bloke", or Gold Man.

Drank there as a youth, many times!! There's not much left in Brum, from my youth???

1st and 2nd Batt served in Aden 64 65.

Hi all, Yep, our T S Michell, was also, bumpering corridors at 3 am. Shining parade was the norm , in my time.

My dear old Dad, served in the Royal Artillery, from 1930 till 1937, they used horses then, when I was a lad, he would often talk about his horse RA 871, and tell me stories of sleeping with him on Salisbury plain, in the earl 30's. This would have been in the 1950's, they who worked with...

They build hundreds around UK, just before the Baor War.

A date would have been nice. It was a good read.

Rambert Chamerlain Place as a child, boy, youth. Great part of my life in brum.

Great picture and piece Viv.

Maybe, 50's, Lyn.

Great piece Pedro, sad there is not a photo of this monument, should be, as photography was starting to be widely used by 1853.

Brilliant piece of our city's history Viv. So Iconic, of an age before electricity. We lived in Edgbaston as a child for a while, in Raglan Road, off the Pershore Rd, it was pretty posh, still in late 40s early 50's.

I have written about that shop before Richard, my sister and I, would always go there on Saturday mornings, after going to Tiverton Road swimming baths, in late 1950's early 60's.

What a very interesting Piece. Viv.

Great History Viv.
