I know the feeling. That kind of stuff still goes on here. For some unknown reason, people tend to class us brummies as the lower class of society, when in fact we are the best. I have always thought that, even though I am not a true brummie, as I was born in Nottingham. I miss those old houses...

Totally agree John L. Especially late into the evening. I now much prefer to use the train. So much safer.

Hello Mel. There has been photo's of Hunters Hill shared on this forum, but can not remeber where, though here is one I copied from 1943. Hope this helps.

I remember this cafe very ell Cookie55. Yes, it was a very old looking place. Thankfilly, even though I lived next door, I never entered the cafe. Just did not look very clean.

The cafe you mention Cookie55, was this the one at the bottom of Villa Street, by nursery road. If so, I used to live next door to it in the early 70's. They used to throw their empty beans & tomato can over the wall into our garden every day.
