These were indeed covers over entrances to cellars. During the war there were a number of them in Birmingham city centre. I remember one particular one outside C&A. The reason for this is that just after the war the King & Queen visited Birmingham and Mom and I went to see them. To get a better...

Not only dangers of being blown up, but look how close they were working to those leather belts driving the machines. Certainly no health and safety. When I worked at McKecknie Brothers in Ladywood in late 40s my uncle was the works photographer and had to take photographs of all accidents, many...

Thanks so much for those Lynn. Those pics of the Lickey Hills brings back so many memories for me when our neighbours used to take my brother and I regularly. That was over 80 years ago !! The thought of the tram rocking away down the Bristol Road with us always in the open front on top deck...

Kat, remarked on your comment about Scotland in the Holidays of the Past thread

I thought I would put this on here in response to Kat's comment in the Garden 2024 thread on Saturday. I/we adore Scotland. The first visit I made was in 1956 when I went by train to visit a friend in Nairn who I had met while in the RAF. I went on overnight train and about 5'30 am on a...

It's your singing in the bath Superdad !!!

Would not have known they were taken through the window if you had not told us Steve. Go to the top of the class !!!!

They look yummie Janice, like my wifes, She baked hers on Wednesday. Aren't I glad she doesn't like them

Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone. Thanks particularly to all those who keep this wonderful site going, for all of us to enjoy

It lifts the spirit to know that can be put up without being nicked. Also that there are people around who want to bring pleasure to others. Thanks for pics Steve
