Re: ST Margarets Hello Wendy, I`ve found the photo of my parents wedding at St. Margaret`s Church and I thought that you would enjoy the location and fashions.

I remember the children`s hair dept and sitting on the animals. The lady would "singe" my hair with a lighted taper ! never understood why, just terrified the life out of me ! The roof garden, was it only open for a short time? because I only remember going the odd time. Mom and myself were in...

Hi there I thought that you would like to know that our local radio station - ( Wave 105 it serves the south coast almost as far as the M4 and covers Isle of Wight, Hampshire, etc ) on the breakfast show the presenters were raving on how brilliant Peaky Blinders had been and all agreed that they...

Re: ST Margarets Thank you Wendy for this photo. My parents were married here 7th June 1941. I have a lovely wedding photo of them standing outside this door. It is good to know that the restoration is under way and I enjoyed reading the article.

Oh my hero !! In my mind I knew I`d seen Roy Rogers and Trigger at the Hippodrome. My Mom, Nan and myself were sat in the aisle seats. If I remember correctly Trigger and Roy Rogers walked up the aisle past us and I was so excited !!! I was only about 6 years old so your time of 1954...

Around 1963/64 I used to go to Kingshurst Youth Club and on a Sunday night we would travel by coach to the Coventry Theatre and see all the top groups. I know we had a great time and I still love the 60`s music. However it sounds really weird but I really can`t say who we saw. Is that daft or what ?

What a great photo, so many images to home in on. Thanks . Not having been in the centre for a long time I`d forgotten what a slope it was.

# 95 Sorry forgot this until now. I was talking mostly about the Market Hall that had been bombed, But I`ve remembered a smaller market where Mom would buy her dress and curtain materials. It was enclosed and quite small inside the aisles but crammed full of different materials of differing...

Yet again you have woken up many memories. Thank you. The photos are great. Saturday afternoon up to town on the 28 or 58/60, walking around the outside market with my Mom and Dad, always something magical to me as a child - the man in chains escaping from a big old hessian sack, my family laugh...

Re: Ward End Park - Replacing some old Pictures (5) In the 1920`s my family lived in St Saviours Road. My great Grandad Alf was a park keeper at Ward End park. Mom used to say that if the kids played him up then he would lock them in until the school bell rang. He`d let them out and they`d run...

How sad. Just a thought would it be possible to look in the deaths in the Mail for around that date ? Maybe they are on file somewhere ?

I am so pleased I`ve managed to upload. My Dad is the handsome man on his own leaning on his truck. By the way the newspaper is the Sunday Mercury !!

Steve had taken Dad`s jeep and officer and Dad said that they heard the explosion from the camp and knew straight away who it was. The photos of the funeral are not marked but most of the others with Dad and his friends were marked Telitwinsky Feb 1947. Others are marked " preparing for...

I will post photos as soon as I can.
