Excellent pics ellbrown, thank you. The brickwork on the old building facades that we are loosing look so nice. But may be I am old fashioned. The new buildings look quite good but you do not get the feeling that they are built to the same standard. Will they age as gracefully as the old ones...

Thx Phil, Thx Dave. Nice one David :-)

HS2 - another 2 seconds off the route and dessimated country side, may be Im old fashioned - do we have a separate thread for it ? Feels a soap box moment coming on :-)

Now thats interesting. Heirloom street-furniture obviously gets removed because its actually illegitimate (and may be confusing). Logical - but sometimes we forget that I guess.

The buildings look very similar but probably not exact, I don't mean to add fuel to the fire gents - but this is an interesting thread.

( I can't find anything on this on the search ) ... I pass the massive Eastside development every day to and from work (by Curzon Circus). I can't believe how fast it is progressing. Just thought it might be worthy of a thread and if we have any pictures it would be great.

Thats interesting Rupert - it does look very very similar at the least. I wonder if it is ? if theres a bits been chopped off the end. Phil if it is right may be Rupert deserves 2 points for this one :)

Thats a great pic and description ty. I wonder how much power and what voltage was used.

Great stuff A - mind the film crews :)

Phil - 1945 pic - on the right hand tip of the POW/camp triangle - theres a strip cleared in the trees - wonder what that is ? - looks a bit like a landing strip.

Thx for the pic Phil - interesting how the boats moved or been replaced and moved over. Do they still have the planes on aeropane hill ? .. they dont seem to be as loud as they used to be if they are.

can you take your camera A ?

yes the mounds I referred to were on the opposite side to the boat house, across the field from where the roundabouts use to be. As if you were walking along the side of the pool towards the trees (walking parallel to Monmouth Drive) and past the ship (mid pool). I'm pretty sure they came from...

Handsworth ?

I reckon the chap standing to the front is the driver, what you think ? I was thinking thats a fag in his mouth - making him look like a Jack-the-lad but I'm not sure if its a mark on the pic now. I just hope the brakes were good.

Nico - I think you've won :-) I think I've lived a sheltered life now.

Birmingham/Manchester I'll go with that on population. Definately the heart of the country and perhaps on history as well ?

Thx Rupert. Great pic Wendy - I am assuming swimming runs in the family then ?

Good point Viv - they must have been a devil to corner

#4 paul -gosh I don't let facts stand in the way of a good story mate Besides this is a Birmingham forum - so we like to boast a bit :emmersed:
