Good plot -- great ending. Great having an historical-drama based on Brum ppl. I went off Grace a bit - have you ? That Sabatini is a real nasty piece of work (hes in Game of Thrones as well). And ... good old Polly - get in !

What do we think of Series 2 ? Final episode this week I think.

Love these older pics. They always look like its a Sunday to me. Peaceful. Good days.

Sounds good thank you for the info, Bernie the Bolt ... a legend. Look forward to it.

Excellent Phil thank you - also great to have the titles you added too. Good to see these places and the changes - IMO mostly the older pics are the better ones :) There's something about brick-work thats more regal than rendered brick work sometimes. I'm sure I'm old fashioned. Did you take...

The bloke peering over the fence - I reckon he's lost his key and looking for a way over that fence withour ripping his rompers - I mean trousers :-)

Another great pic oldMo - thank you. Lots of women wore scalves - even some with curlers underneath. What happened to ladies scalves ? - I assume they became unfashionable ?

I see the waterworks close to Banners were finished a few weeks ago. I also note a few of the road speed humps have been taken up.

You just can't beat a picture for a nice bit nostalgia - thank you.

Another link for a self written Vale-Onslow piece. https://www.vale-onslow.co.uk/LVO_3.htm Great picitures of Soho Road - thank you. Interesting how the trams went down the centre of the road and the horse and carts down the out sides - hadn't realised that.
