Hello again, way back when I was a lot younger I walked all the way to Hednesford from the circle after missing the last bus, think it took me about 2 to 3 hours, dark and raining too but I got home in one piece, I only ever did that once and I started the walk from just by some shops on the...

Don't you wish you could just turn back the clock and go back to the time we had in our youth, strap on the skates and have the best days of our life once again, would we make the same choices we made, or would we do something different, do you remember the friends we had back then who were very...

Some of the films shown were not as cracked up to be as advertised, after reading the sub titles you missed the action on the screen, did you ever buy any of the Continental Film Revue magazines, I think there was more in those than on the screen, I remeber the Cinephone painted in horrible...

In the early 1960's I was the 2nd projectionist at the wonderful Cinephone, I would have the honor or working every weekend when in those days programs finished on Saturday night and the new one started Sunday, if you were a regular patron then you may have met the manager, Mr Ron Caton, he...

Hello again, here is one more picture taken on Hatchum Road, it may be taken at the end of the war, I am not sure, or the coronation, as there was nothing on the back of the picture, my mom and grandmother and some of my aunts are also in the picture.

Nice to see the Silver Blades again, had so many great times there, next time I come to Birmingham I must take a trip up the ramp if it open, I used the rink way back in the mid 60's, the line ups were always long at the weekend, and the smell of the ice rink always lingers in your memory...
