Hi. Dave M. No I did not get the news paper you mention, I take it that its interesting.

June. Did you know that Saint Cuthbert reputedly started Christianity in Britain, he walked from Montrose in Scotland to Holy Island in Northumbria, and there is a St. Cuthberts walk signposted all the way to this day, it actually goes past my grand-daughters cottage near Wooler, Northumberland...

Hi. Pete. Yes thanks, I got the info. I wanted some time ago now, it was 18 months ago when I put the request on here. I do have Thomas,s death cert. and a map of Witton cemetery, but thanks anyway. Is it Beauchamp Road then?. John 70.

Hi. Pete. Would it be around the Bromwall Road area in the 60s?. John 70.

Hi. Mike. Nice photos of Cheddar, I have been there today in my old Austin 1100, Not sure about it being an Eatonways coach,but it looks like a Bedford SB Willowbrook Duple body to me, Caves had a couple of those, and have parked a few of them in that spot.

Hi. Mike. Is it Alcester Rd. South, Taylor Rd. jcn.?.

Thanks Stitcher, thats very good of you, hope he is OK. John 70.

Hi. Mike.I like the photo of the S17 sqeezing under the low bridge in Colebrook Road, done that myself a few times when I worked for Caves, with thier garage being just up the road from the bridge, I allways waited till the road was clear if possible, but now and again some speed merchant in a...

Great story Stitcher about pushing the car along Station St. what years were you working at Digbeth, I was wondering if I know you also as I was there for a short time, but I dont have Mikes fantastic memory, still remember Freds Cafe though, and the bowling alley on late nights when we were on...

Thanks for that Stitcher, hope he is keeping well, I think he would enjoy a lot of the stuff on here,especially about the buses, and some of his tales like Mikes would be great. John70.

Hi. Stitcher. Nice to hear of Reg Harding, do you know if he is keeping well these days?. John 70.

Thanks Ann, Mikes as nice a chap as you could wish to meet, another real gentleman, I know he didn,t mean to upstage you. Regards. John.

Sorry Ann and Mike, didnt mean to show off, I am at that funny age also, the wife says I have been for twenty years. LOL.

Hi. Mike. Another lovely photo of Prince of Wales lane, I remember it as it is in the photo, how nice it looks in comparison to today, the Austin 10 is outside Maynards radio shop, they were there untill about 10 years ago, in those days they had another shop in Glenavon Road, I used to take the...

Looks like Fox Hollies Rd. and Olton Boulevard.

This is a photo of my first car, well a van really, ex George Masons, the grocers, I kept the bottom half dark green as was there colours, and painted the top half light green, and put an old bus seat in the back.I paid £125 in 1958.

I would say that is definately the Coventry Road jcn. with Digbeth, and a 153 running into town, but why Perry Barr on the blind is anyones guess, allthough Mike may well be correct, to fool the corpo,s.

Remember these,
