I believe this is what you want I believe this is what you want

Yes GG they did use the swimming baths as dance venues, I danced to Victor Sylvester at West Bromwich baths and up to quite recently Willenhall baths had a regular Saturday night dance. Not sure whether it is still going.

I am sure we all must have passed each other at the West End, Locarno and the Tower Ballroom, I went to the Galleon a few times it was a lovely place very friendly, in fact my husband to be got very angry one night when someone tagged me in the tag quickstep. Oh, happy days!!! Still dancing...

I believe Banks Mens shoe shop is still going. Thanks for all the replies, I used to go to Barratts at one time and was able to order shoes from there, but they are not around any more. None of the shops have that personal touch nowadays. Thinks I will make China my next years' holiday !!!!!

Talking of shoes, does anyone on the forum have little feet, I take a size 2 or 2 1/2 but since Banks Ladies Shoe Shop in Stockland Green closed down, I have had a lot of trouble finding somewhere to buy not only day to day shoes but also dance shoes. Any ideas girls!!

I am glad my thread on HKPS brought back some happy memories for you, what a wonderful school it was and I am sure you will agree we were very lucky to have had the opportunity of such a good education at an early age. I was born in 1939 so we would not be in the same class, not sure whether we...

The Garage was called Satterthwaite's, they specialised in Foden Lorries, presumably providing servicing and parts for Foden. I don't think the family name Foden is associated with this Garage, but there again I could be wrong. I lived on the Chester Road a few hundred yards from this Garage...

Here is a picture of the Coronation Celebrations (Fancy Dress) taken in Warrenhill Road Kingstanding in 1953, I am the scarecrow!! Hope everybody has a good day celebrating this wonderful occasion, should boost our spirits. There must be a lot of these pictures out there, let's be seeing them.

We have now sorted this out, it is Little Aston Churchyard!!!!

Hi Glennys, Lovely postcards of Streetly, I went past Roman Way this morning and the lodge is still there, it hasn.t changed at all. It is a beautiful area. Alas Streetly Station disappeared some years ago when so many of the railways disappeared. The line is still there and still does carry...

A picture of Streetly Lodge as it is now, not as it was in the early 1900's I suspect. I have actually been in this little house, somebody from our church in Streetly was a caretaker there is the late 1980's, cannot remember their names but they have passed on anyway. Do not know who lives...

Thank you so much, Phil, for the photo, just what I wanted to add to my family history notes. I knew somebody out there would come up with something. I havn't been down there for several years, although I did go to get some pictures of my Grandma's house in Richmond Road about 8 years ago when...

Hi Glennys Are you sure this churchyard is in the Sutton Area as Little Aston Church is Little Aston and not Little Sutton, there is a Little Sutton Church in Cheshire. Just a thought to save you chasing the wrong link. As Ray says Little Aston is very posh, would be good to think you had...

Does anyone have any information or pictures of the Stud Works which were on Soho Hill. My Mother and Aunt used to work there and I would love a picture for my archives. I have found this poster/leaflet on the web, but if anyody has anyfurther information would love to have it. As you can see...

Hi Big Fella There is nothing about Four Seasons on the back of this postcard. It just says "No. 8 Series of Postcards Birmingham City Trams at Aston with Aston Hippodrome in the Background copyright G.S. Cooper and it was published by M.A. Arts with a further mention Trent Art St. Mary's Mews...

And now I know I can do it, here's one of the Aston Hippodrome and the No 6 Tram, this one was never sent anywhere so have no idea of the date.

Birmingham by Post Card I know there is a picture further up this thread but this one shows the Art Gallery, which is still there and I am also just testing to see if I can load a picture successfully. I have always loved this picture, it is funnily enough post marked Swansea and being sent to...

Re: Old Street Pics They all look fine to me too and thanks for posting them a nice thought to brighten up such a horrible day, know we need the rain, but it's a bit depressing ain't it! By the way Hawthorn Road doesn't change a bit and nice to see all those people in Bull Street, imagine that...
