A brutal end for a "brutalist icon". :( "The planning committee went on to approve the development and there was a cry of “shame” as frustrated campaigners left the room". Shame indeed, in my opinion. The Council were determined to have their way.

We moved a couple of years ago and now have a row of local shops that would have been a minute walk away for me not that long ago, but now seem quite a distance, but a journey well worth making. My wife and I are happy and lucky to have these local shops so near, a proper butcher, a grocers, a...

My friends told me about this on our WhatsApp group this morning, many are still regulars on match days and they were in on Tuesday evening, and nothing whatsoever was said about it's impending closure. It is always very busy when Villa are at home, I guess that isn't enough for the owners to...

My thought was, could it be the top of what is left of a shell (the lower half of the picture below)?

Could you describe what the top and bottom look like and give a rough size of the object please?

I have just watched it on YouTube (see below). Thanks for mentioning it Richard, he certainly does still have those moves. He also did one that played during the Superbowl (Grease - 2nd search title below) . Capital One | Quicksilver "Holiday Night Fever" Commercial (2023) Featuring John...

It was a great place to visit as a youngster. My Nan's cousins lived in one of the houses that overlooked the park in George Road and they had an allotment. There was always a decent game of football (jumpers for goalposts ;) ) to be had on the grass, between the bank and the land on which...

I watched a programme on PBS America this week titled "The War on Disco" that included the scene from the opening of "Saturday Night Fever", where John Travolta struts down the street with a can of paint and compares his shoes, with those in a shop window (see below). They reminded me of a pair...

The first one is 4 years old, I'm not sure about the other one.

Could it be this row of shops 152-170 (which I think includes the shops below)?

Who could forget? ;) (Pictured below as a candidate and with his band) Sadly he took his own life in 1999:

There is nothing whatsoever to stop you making a claim to benefits. The question will be whether any benefits are paid to you as a result. That will be dependant upon the severity of your condition, upon it's impact on your ability to do day to day tasks and the extent of any help that you may...

I used to pop in there occasionally in the late 70s & 80s. Downstairs was somewhere that you could go in for a quiet chat with friends. It is now run as a shop, but the second photograph shows it when it was still a pub following a name change and the third shows the old Grapes (before it was...

Hopefully the owners will do as they have said and open it again as a pub. "Star Pubs & Bars Limited, want to now run it themselves". Such a nice old pub, both inside and out (as shown below). Filming of the first series of Call of Duty was done there, there is some super art nouveau tiling...

Just a youngster Barbara, like we all are at heart! ;)
