Does anyone remember The Heartbeat. You went up a ramp and it was above the bowling alley and The Silver Blades Ice Rink. The DJ’s played mainly reggae and blue beat. I went there most weekends in the late 1960’s

I saw The Foundations there

Yes it was up Needless Alley off New Street. It was a pub with a DJ. You went downstairs to it and then it was on two levels. I spent many happy Saturday nights there probably late 60’s early 70’s

I went there a couple of times in the 1960’s but don’t really remember much about it

Thank you. I’ve always wondered what the smell was. I don’t think the treatment helped me. I had very pale skin and couldn’t tolerate the sun so it beggars belief why i had this done to me

I had my tonsils out in Litle Bromwich Hospital in 1958. I lived near to Selly Oak Hospital so I don’t know why I was sent there.

I had this treatment in the mid 1950’s at Maas Road Clinic Northfields. I remember it exactly as you recall but also remember a very distinctive smell. I was a very thin child and I think the treatment was because of this - maybe rickettsia or failure to thrive as it would be called now maybe
