We used to start our Saturday nights in Yates,s. Qeuing up single file to the bar for a "Dock of Ausi White". Large glass and really strong. We didn,t stay in there though as later in the night it became a war zone. Up to the Costamonger from there or maybe The Tavern In The Town, always packed...

That,s it, I remember now. Good club Barbarellas, you had to get there sharpish else you could,nt get in. Remember seeing The Dave Clark Five there.

Good pub the "Stockland" We went to the Plaza a lot in th 60,s and would rush out and across the road to get a pint in before time. Worked round the back for a time cleaning coaches on Sunday nights when they came back from their tours. Stockland Coaches had quite a big fleet, I remember their...

Used the Tyburn a lot in the mid 60,s Always good groups on and it was Ansells. We used to hang around in the car park with our motor bikes. Tear off to Tamworth then back to the Tyburn. The tyburn was a better pub than the Baggot. no atmosphere there.

We used the "Golden" all the time. Started with being outside with a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps,(separate bag of salt). Then we were older, penny for the guy. Allways a good haul at chucking out time. Then going in there on the way home from work at Stubbings builders. Used the Gents...

Anyone remember the massive stuffed tiger and the monster Japanese crab in their own glass cases, sceary stuff.

My mother Dor othy Bartlett worked at Higgs Motors as a machine operator in the early 60,s. We lived in Perry Common and you could hear the press hammers at Witton quite clearly. We also used to ride the coal barges at Witton when they were pulled by horses.

I was driving a concrete mixer truck during the mid 70,s and remember delivering to the housing site that was built over HockleyGoods. Many time the diggers came across old track that had been buried for years together with the blue cobbles that made up the roads It was allways "heads out the...

Hi Peter R. I was on the P/way at Castle Bromwich in the mid 70,s, I was living in Tamworth at the time. We were in the "mobile gang". I remember the old signal box at Water Orton and the nearby hut where we would spend our time if the inspector was,nt about, can,t remember his name now.

I was a regular visitor to Aston in the 60,s, and remember the sleeper fence Roger Burke referes to. We went to Aston on a Sunday when the WCML diversion was on, semis, brits jubes and scots would pass through heading to Stechford and on to Rugby. Aston was the only shed I got done for trespass...

I used to visit the field at Tamworth quite often, allways in the big field. Got fed up with being turfed out, and as we were banned from the station it was visited less and less. The appearance of more and more "Mainliners" (class 40,s) di,nt help. Reading some of the posts brings it all back...
