The "Birmingham History Forum", is a great site. I've seen many odd questions asked and out of no where comes an answer. My advice to you is don't be afraid to ask what may seem to be a stupid question. I myself was born in Hockley 1952, I can be seen at odd times walking around the old...

The dripping sarnies or if you took a little more time dripping on toast were great. Is it something kids would eat today? They have no idea what they are missing. Nick Phillips :)

I remember in the early 1960's walking down Warstone Lane when the street lighting was gas lamps holding my mothers hand tight, very tight. Gas caused shadows. I was so pleased when we reached Hingeston St. Nick Phillips

Just seen this. What is the meeting for?

I was at H N R boys school from 1963-1967. I had good days and number of difficult ones. I remember when in the first year swinging on two legs of the chair working how old I would be if I lived to the year of 2000, I knew no one could live to that age (48). Now at the age of seventy one (71)...

Hi YGB, I'm a Brookfields / Hockley lad myself. What was your fathers name, where did he live. I moved from the area in1968 after a house fire. After all these years I still enjoy a walk in the area. I feel at home in the area. Nick Phillips

Mikejee, just reread your comment regarding floor space. I've drank in both pubs for many years the floor space In the Gunmakers even without the brewery is much larger. But I still enjoy both pubs for different reasons . Nick Phillips

Viv, I've spent hours / days trying to find a photo of the pub when it was the "Pike and Musket". If not do you know when or why the name changed? Nick Phillips

I enjoy walks along the canals. I also enjoy art. I'm happy to look at art that I would not have at home. The graffiti on this wall, just spoils the "look of bridge". The time and cost of removal is very expensive. I would never try to force my ideas of art on to any one, I don't think anyone...
