I think that there is a mention of this incident on the forum somewhere as I recall seeing it and Thursday night's B'ham Mail jogged my memory, perhaps it's in Birmingham Buses thread?

The Marquis of Lorne pub was on the corner of Cecil Street and Newtown Row

Lyn it's a locomotive:010::010: sorry to be pedantic:):):)

I agree with Frothy that definitely was the Futurist Cinema

Not sure I heard correctly on Radio WM but there was a report of copper being stolen off the roof of a memorial and i'm sure it said Barr Beacon.

That picture is taken in Watford Road Cotteridge,The 18 is at the stop on its journey towards Haunch Lane and Yardley Wood terminus.

Think this might be the answer but look at who was the first English side https://www.kgbanswers.co.uk/who-were-the-first-british-team-in-any-european-football-final/3040979

How about this for a registration plate????

I am sure the Dogpool has been bought and sold before Dek. It has been going down hill for quite some time. It tried to capture the student market but it seemed like it was a step too far from all the bars that are available on the Bristol Road through Selly Oak. Nevertheless it would be a shame...

You bet, George Chisholm, George Melly to name but two, had some great nights there in the mid 60's.

Was it or is it astonian Cleeve House.

Thank you for that info Astonian very intersesting.My best pal who now lives in King's Norton spent most of his life until the mid 1900's at number 30 Kensington Road and that was the last bungalow in the road.

It was owned by Ash & Lacy but probably went the same way as many pressworkers doug. The firm I worked for took a lot of work off them in the late 80,s due to their short term lack of capacity. Their main customers were Valor Heating and other domestic goods manufacturers.During the 1990's there...

My guess it would be Greenland Road, Kensington Road for over half way are bungalows so it would not be possible to see over the high wall but although Greenland Road is well covered by foliage now it was not always the case.

That will be handy for a cousin of mine, she only lives just up West Heath Rd. from there, shame about the pug going though it used to be a meeting place after school when I was at Turves Green,not for a drink I hasten to add !!!!

He was a very likeable bloke, nothing ever seemed to faze him no matter how much pressure he was under. I remember working on those rubber forming tools for the flaps that were to go on the TSR2 aircraft, the one that got scrapped around 1965-5. The smaller tooling for the flap formers were made...

Spot on with that Graham, I worked in there around 1962 the moved down to G dept. around 1964-5. I worked with George Wilson and we were located around the second open window from the left. I think Reg Perry had the first bench and Joe Oakley was the foreman.

I always used to get one of those calendars, not sure now how I got my hands on them but there was always one hanging in my bedroom during the years I was there, like you I wish I had kept them that would bring some old faces back to life..............Whittaker's name was Ben IIRC

Was it Whittaker Graham? I think Jack was a nickname for Webley as I have a letterhead from TB somewhere and Webleys initials were L.G.?

The scrap dealers would have been Broadhursts who had premises in Blews St which was the other side of Newtown Row. I think it was also a garage as well as a scrap yard. It was Frank Turner's son in law who ran the company for a while, his name was Webley, I cant recall his first name though...
