To my reckoning it was right where the hole to the library is now.

Yup, Josie, that worked. (Seems there's some sort of celebration/commemoration going on with all those flowers.)

Try again, Josie. That attachment didn't work.

That's the only location I can recall it in too but I've heard it used to be somewhere around New Street originally.

We left Handsworth about three months ago but even now, when we drive through to visit our daughter, we can see how it's gone down since we left. It seems nobody there has any interest in their environment any more. A lot of the neglect can be attributed to "Rackman" type landlords who buy up...

Nice pictures. It's great to see so many young people enjoying themselves by helping others. (Hey, that's some stretched limo behind them in the first shot, eh?)

The boy's running to get to the next stop before the tram does. :rolleyes:

I don't think his appearance is that unusual for the era. I guess I used to go around with a similar look around that time. I'd probably run like that as well if the E Type I'd nicked had just run out of petrol. :friendly_wink:

:pride: Depends on your point of view (or angle of lean). :stung:

That looks like a view of Kruk Cottage to me which is on College Road.

To me it looks like two boys with cakes on their heads!

Every year, during the Lord Mayor's Appeal, a wire fence would be placed around the water spout at the centre of the fountain and folk would toss their coins over it in way of donations to the charity. As little scallies, we often paddled in there to collect anything that had fell short for our...

Exceptions to the Wednesday rule were butchers, who closed on Mondays and barbers who closed on Thursdays.

Is this what you rode in, Nico? : - an Irish Jaunting Car

That's how I imagined them from what I heard when I was growing up in Winson Green - just a rough lot of blokes from Aston - much to rough for us to mix with. BTW, I read the war error as being World War Eleven!!!

Having missed the last two episodes I caught up on iPlayer. Like most, since seeing those optic measures attached to bottles in the pub, I have given up seeing it as historical fact. I am now enjoying it even more as a good TV series, especially Annabelle Wallis. What else could you ask for...
