Happy birthday Lyn have a super day x

The tar holders must be a bi-product from the gasworks

What a super collection of images, thanks for sharing them. The wooden cooling towers maybe Nechells A power station, they were still there when I was young. Its quite a good way of researching and getting a betting understanding of the past looking for locations of older photographs, I see it...

Well done you.

I think the structure in the background left was one of the two very large gas holders gas holders in Nechells, near to where Cosco and Star City is now. They were pull down quite some time back. The gas holders your showing looking down Whitehouse St are a set of three at Windsor St gasworks...

A hairdo at Raymond's, Mr Teasy Weazy’s was more of a roleplay experience, an expensive treat, especially if Mr Raymond did it. You did not tell him how you wated it, he told you apparently.

Lyn that’s a late 50's early 60's Cast in Stitu concrete roof. Known as self-supporting giving a clear open space inside. There is also one on the Co-op in Kingstanding. Very beautify and hellishly expensive to build.

What a super job you’re doing there, very interesting and much appreciated

I vaguely remember it. The place looked like it was not really finished off after building it, making it look quite uninviting

A lot of this stuff we ordered via the mail order catalogue, Kays, Littlewoods etc. Some of the fashions then do leave a lot to be desired

How about the stuff we had in livingrooms: The Spider Plant A few people kept these on the TV set Artex and Wood chip Lot of people had this print as well as the one with the crying boy.

Well spotted Lyn

I think things went downhill with coloured bathroom suites. We chose light blue which at the time did not look too bad, but my pal had burgundy. Living in a hardwater area his bath quickly developed a lining of irremovable lime scale form the scum off the soap. Toa dd insult to injury there were...

Y es, the 60’s - &0’s style was in my opinion more space aged, even the T V and film industry was big on space age science fiction stuff. Mary Quant did a lot of household design too, I certainly recall the wallpapers and curtains.

A few other 1980’s kitchen classics
