Does anyone have any photos of the 1970's University campus especially Chamberlain Hall? Fond memories of the place but no photos

Grateful for the replies to my request, helping me confirm that my memory isn't as bad as I sometimes think! Loved the years I spent in and around Sutton Coldfield, and the Birmingham area in general and visit at least once every year catching up with friends and re-visiting those favourite...

I might have the same trouble with mixed memories about the restaurant ! Sutton Parade certainly rings a bell and like you, would love to know its name Maybe the Dilshad had two places in Sutton Coldfield?

Great Thanks for that Yes think that could be where a lovely boyfriend took me not long after I moved to the area to start a new job and where I had that first proper curry !. I couldn't remember its name So has it always been called The Dilshad?

Late 60's early 70's flock wallpapered Indian Restaurant in Sutton Coldfield . Anyone remember this place where I had my first Prawn Curry!

Any photographs of said hot pants outfits?

Ah, Chelsea Girl . L oved that shop ! Wish I had a photo of a favourite outfit - patchwork top attached to a blue opened fronted short 'coat' to show matching blue hot pants! Thought I was the bees knees!!

Also was it sometime in late 60's/early 70's that Sainsbury 's appeared on the High Street and what store did it replace?

Much appreciated. Am in the process of writing about the years I spent working and living in Erdington and Sutton Coldfield so may be posting more questions in the future!

Anyone remember a Doctor who lived/worked out of his house situated on the right hand side of Wood End Road above Rookery Park Erdington in the late 1960's early '70's ? I can't remember his name but I was recommended him and registered with him and the following month he saw me on a home...

Many Thanks Have viewed on google street view but alas not the maisonettes I remember!

Thank you Four Oaks looks promising. Certainly helped me to put the brain into gear and try yet again to form a picture of where the flat might have been !

Thanks I'll keep looking and hoping!

Does anyone know if there are maisonettes identical to those in Wilkinson Close Sutton Coldfield anywhere else in the surrounding area, maybe Streetly ,Oscott etc Used to spend weekends there in the late 1960's/early 1970. Seem to remember having to walk across grass up a path up to flat

I loved wearing hot pants and white knee high boots . Lived in London during the `Swinging Sixties`, shopped at `Bus Stop` and Biba and Mary Quant was my hero! Happy memories
