I heard that the roof has collapsed so that suggests the building is unsafe and will require demolishing, another way for developers to get round planning regulations, apologies for sounding cynical :(:(:(

Not exactly a place owned by an ex footballer, but one owned by his daughter, Harbour Bites takeaway in Brixham, Devon

Not the Selly Park Tavern on picture 1 Dek as that pub is on Pershore Road near to Cannon Hill park, there were so many pubs in that area of Selly Oak but the pub on the corner may have been the Oak Inn, no doubt someone will know what it was.

I used to have a friend (now deceased) who was stationed at RAF Wythall, cant be sure of the years though. After it was closed it was used by BMC ( British Motor Corporation) as a storage for new cars awaiting delivery to dealers, there would be all makes stored there...

Not sure it is a school as it is the Stirchley Institute, and I believe it is a church now.

The site has been developed with high end housing.

Re: gun trade fatories My late father in law was working there in 2000 and it was then owned by a lady. They were making guns there up until the new laws on firearms came in after Dunblane. Obviously orders dried up and they went into the refurbishment of existing sporting guns. I think they...

I remember a man who used to deliver milk in the road where I lived. He drove an open back high sided cart and there would be four or more milk churns on the cart and he would ladle the amount you wanted in to your containers. I can't recall the name of the dairy but it used to be around the...

I found something I cant remember seeing before in a first aid box that was my dad's, Tiger Balm in an hexagonal jar about an inch high, no directions on the jar but it looks like blackjack, anyone have any ideas?

The one I remember Jean was in a soft tub with like a waxy feel to it, and shaped like an ice cream tub. We use to eat lots of it on sandwiches and my mother used to make those cornflake cakes with it too,I daresay our tastes might have come from the fact that my mother and most of my relatives...

How about Fry's Chocolate Spread, oh how I miss that.

Yes Vivienne, A.E.Harris does indeed lease out part of its premises for theatre and other groups. I think the Rep. are putting some plays on there. I bumped into the owner ( my old boss ) a few weeks back on the Lickey's and he told me he was utilising the spare buildings he had due to the...

This web page of A.E.Harris does not give the address in Camden St. but the photo shows the premises, I doubt if the buildings have changed at all. The elusive book I have seems to be in a very very safe place

I recall a company called Whitford Tool and Die Co. who were in this area during the 60's and 70's, they were suppliers of engineering small tools and fasteners.Also around this area was A.E.Harris (B'ham) Ltd. who are now in Northwood St. I do have a book of their history somewhere, I will try...
