Ok then Macca, I obviously did'nt remember correctly, so lets try this one. Terry

If I remember correctly I think it was one of these 2 houses. Terry

Dont know if you noticed Lyn, but you posted the Sampson and Lion twice in post 698. I was a regular there at about that time, good pub. Terry

Not strictly a product, but how many of today's drivers would know what I was on about if I said to them "pull the choke out". My grandson had'nt a clue when I asked him. Terry

"I have taught him how to make a skimmer with 5 flat lollipop sticks,anyone remember those?." I used to make those as well, but I'm blowed if I can remember how. Terry

I used to do that Eric, only with an elastic band, you wound it up and as it unwound it would move. Oh, and we used to cut notches in the reel so that it would climb over things, just like a tank. Happy days. Terry

It was almost by Goode St. There is a pic somewhere, I have to go out now but I will have a look for it when I return. Unless someone has a pic they could post meanwhile. Terry

Another coronation picture, this one is in the press shop at Bulpitts, Spring Hill. My mother is bottom right. Terry

Yes, it's still there Phil. On the Green Castle Bromwich. Have'nt been there for some years though I used to be a regular there. A good pub in it's day, I don't know what it's like now though. I have attached a picture off Google.

Blimey, your house must have been in a really bad state then Maggs, ours was'nt in good condition at all.:blue: typicall back to back slum. Terry

I was always fascinated by the crockery sellers, the way they used to juggle the sets of crockery like a pack of cards. I think most of the crowd was only there hoping to see him drop the plates, but it never happened. Something you don't seem to see these days. terry

The film/play 'The Planters Wife' starring Jack Hawkins was released in 1952, so I would imagine that was when it was painted. Terry

Here he is pictured in 2010 Terry

Cheers DeK, you're probably right, it was a pic that I got from somewhere and it was already named. Terry

This is the only picture I have of the so called Monkey House or Duddeston Mill Tavern. I cannot remember where I got the picture so I cannot verify if the name is correct. All I know is that I had a drink in the Monkey House 2 or 3 times and I always thought the pub was on the left in Cato St...

I would imagine it is open to the public, here is the entrance, it is off Court Lane. Terry
