Started a new hopefully interesting thread that probably involved us all over the years. (I can smell OXYGEN) I was a good 440yards runner, but at my school "Dennis Road" we had a sprint flyer named Lincoln Brown. he was real popular in the late 50's early 60's and I believe went onto run for...

Thanks for the photos and names to them Ken, you have just made history and I like others will be forever great full. If you don't believe me punch Birmingham school football history into any search engine and see for yourself. This history would probably been lost forever thanks fellow BHF. I...

Here is a old photo of the dance school laura Dixon, later to become the very exciting Whisky agogo all nighter club, but no alchol in the early 60's. there are a lot of other posts in Birmingham's Night Clubs thread, but don't let that stop you all as I am intrigued about other Dance halls that...

Ken that was further up the road with Bamboo and feet marks in the carpet I recall, opened mid 60's but not the Moat House.

I'v been told by my old mates, that the 1st real night club in Brum was "The Moat House" in Bradford Street bottom end by the market. This could be true as even I cannot remember it!! I am also told it was a member of the the then council that owned and opened it, was his name Roy Pryke?? and...

Great photo Ken, its got a lot of atmosphere, but do you know the names of the boys and master?

Re: City Center Photographs Stephenson Street. thanks Lloyd, as ever respect for your help. If only we could have left the queens hotel standing, as it could have been the same as London's St. Pancras station and hotel bob

Re: City Center Photographs Stephenson Street. Not sure if this one has been on this thread before its Stephenson Street and looks like its triple free parking in those days. Is that the canopy over the entrance into New Street station on the right? Is the name associated with the same named...

Surfside Stop constitution Hill Not sure if this is a first, the building on the left was the Surfside stop coffee bar and upstairs the night Club. lasted about 2 years 66/67. you had to use a lift to get upstairs to the club. Only our maker would have known the survival rate if there had been...

Thats the one Phil I remembered. As I recall when we left Newton Road they advertised that they cleared all properties and cleared our house, but they left most of our furniture behind and my dad had to go back to clear the cr--p! He set fire to it all in the garden, and as it was previously...

The Griffin family had a junk shop on the Stoney lane, opposite or near the junction with Brunswick Road. I believe Johnnie ran it from around 1966/67. They also had the Talk of the Town night club on the Stratford Road near the junction of Waldorf Road but closer to the church near by. I think...

I played in three teams over the years in the Festival League between 1964 and 1980 ish. Stratford Star, Selbrooke and Stone FC. Great times and 1st class leagues. Wish I could play 90 minutes now!!

Thanks Dennis for starting this thread of back streets. I find it fascinating to see and hear of all the old tales of the streets of old Brum. Not lost forever!!

Nice photo Carol, the hair styles epitomized those days, and many players played in glasses. When they headed them laced footballs it dug the frames into your nose like mine did. Its Bu...ed my nose up many times. Bob

Very sad news today of the passing away of an icon of non league Football Bob Faulkner passed away in his sleep. Bob was a very respected manager of Moore Green and lately of Solihull Borough FC of the Blue Square North Division. He has managed the clubs for nearly 30 years before and after...

Stich they have just knocked that stand down believe it or not it was still intergrated into the old players main stand. the pillars and arches used to be still there, but no longer. The new stand looks very mod and expencive to sit in I'm told by members who are not happy about the season...
