I would guess at the picture house as being the Villa Cross on Lozells Road. It's hard to imagine that the Co-op my wife shopped in when we were first married is so soon a part of history. (Scuse me now while I wipe away a tear... sob...) God, it was only 44 years ago!

Naah, the band are spelt the same cos they were named after me! :tranquillity: And, as far as I can see, my statue is still included on every post. I'd also like to clarify that I was referring to Birmingham in my post, not Coventry. It seems the most recent developer went out with a goal to...

I immediately regretted the destruction of the '60s development where I spent some of the happiest days of my life. :blue:

When I see the state of the White Horse Cellars on Constitution Hill and Handsworth's Endwood I think they might better be demolished than be left in such sorry conditions.:bi_polo:

Wasn't station wagon just the US term for the same thing?

Wonder who knocked the Keep Left bollard down in Golden Hillock Road.:pride:

Yup, even OB was still there.

Although a lot of shops have been moved during the latest development, I'm pretty sure OB were still in the Pallasades when I went through last week.

So the giants reduced to faceless men in grey suits strike again, eh? Maybe Carl's problem was selling himself too cheaply. Demand big money like the Jonathan Wosses of this world and people think you must be good, even when you're rubbish. Both my daughters who looked on Carl as merely...

I recall it being recommended to me for trousers. I was assured they always had the most fashionable at the best price. However, because of the term banded around: "Where d'ya get that - C&A's basement?" if summat was seen as cheap looking, I shopped at Nelson House. Oh, and congrats, Steve...

Am I correct in believing they axed one of his shows before but had to bring him back because of the public outcry?

That makes sense and seems the most likely to me therefore Newtown Row is just a road leading to it.

...which raises the question; did it exist before '60s developments?

Oops! Goofed agen! - Sorry.

Could it be, as the cars suggest, the old Roots Motors works along the A45?
