I think the colour photo comes from a short selection of shots from a posting I made in 2009 from British Pathe https://www.britishpathe.com/video/coventry-birmingham-scenes/query/Coventry+and+Birmingham Maybe the scenes were ripped out of the video by our photo burglar. The timing is around...

The lead player was VINCENT Price, handlebar. Here's the American film poster https://www.impawards.com/1959/house_on_haunted_hill.html

I would put the push-chair pusher to be more like 65 now, appearing to be about 15 years of age fifty years ago. Maybe nowadays the child in the push-chair is pushing HIM in a full-size wheelchair? Has anyone noticed how far away the pedestrian crossing at the back of the bus is away from the...

The location of photo in post 69 is almost certainly The Vine (public house) roundabout on the Stafford Road, Wolverhampton. The roundabout (only recently demolished) had an unusual tight kink in it to allow better flow of traffic on and off the new post-War industrial estate (out of view to the...

I Laugh 'Til I Cry?

Is that the Black Maria parked outside just in case all these Jane Austen readers got too agitated about getting in?

Fabulous picture this. Shows how much the opposite side of Corporation Street was always the focus of attraction-especially when Lewis's became prominent. How far up Corporation Street are we? Would the Grand Theatre be behind us on the right or is that its curved dome up yonder? Would imagine...

oh yes, mikeya. This is a key portrayal. Assuming that the other side of the junction (on the right) is a bit further up the Grand Theatre. Nearly all photographs of any decade has concentrated on the North-West side of the road, and when Lewis's was built that in turn became the main attraction.

By chance the Daily Mirror archive is featuring this week a BRMB 'lookback' https://www.mirrorpix.com/webgate/preview.php?UURL=bed08e98373aaafbcab22c28cc6511fa&IMGID=00565881 Go to the Mirrorpix homepage and type in BRMB for more examples

and with the last of the photos on post #5 in mind, just a little closer detail dated 1969 https://www.mirrorpix.com/webgate/preview.php?UURL=01b4e548b076a882885da1a7d8cd5ca7&IMGID=00571010 Here's the link address if the photo gets separated

Its a wonderful photo Mohawk. Its 1965 or close to. Neither the building, the cars or the bystanders are aware of the terrible misfortune due to them with the impending "redevelopment". Very tragic in a Shakesperean way even

BBC feature on Vivian Maier here https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/0/23007897

Post 225. If one looks at this RIBA picture OF the Odeon Perry Barr (and is able to enlarge if by further clicking) the 'thing' is a portable display unit for publicity items too numerous to fit in the standard wall-mounted boxes (Replacement)

Does it say Police on it and does it flash if a call comes in?

I'm a retired Driving Instructor, Mohawk. The arm signals became obsolete during the 1970s for motorcycles (about the time compulsory helmet wearing was made an exemption for turban-wearing Sikh people). I think the two-finger sign will get you through the Test nowadays, whether you are on a...

and here courtesy of GettyImages is Macfisheries Bull Street early 1960s

John Ball's Birmingham memories website refers to a Scout Shop in Dale End. The section where it is referred to is in Walk No.5

Am I correct but is the West Bromwich boundary with Birmingham-at Island Road- only a relatively 'new' border (early 1900's) since Handsworth at one time (and everywhere west) was in Staffordshire. However the route is the famous A41 road from London to Holyhead so one would expect a milestone...

I love these recent photos Viv. Have been exploring them for hours. the participants would never have imagined the First World War or its successors in the Second World War, let alone Korea, Vietnam or wherever. Looks as if the people there are looking into the camera and asking the future...
