Sounds like you lived in Nursery Rd. The left turn would have been into Hunters Road. There was a bridge there;with a clock if I remember correctly. I believe the bus depot was in Heaton Street. NoddKD

Hockley Station to Snow Hill. 3d return. From where I lived in Welsley st walking would have been quicker but not as much fun. Nodd the traveller.;)

Always loved In the Bleak Mid Winter.

My sympathy Lyn. Suffer the same myself. Tried everything, no drinking,no tea,coffee, bed early or late. Even tried natural sleeping aids such as Nytol all to no avail. As you say we have to soldier on.;) Nodd the sleepy.

Hi Lyn, can't think why I didn't know of St George's in Newtown. As a nipper living in Hockley we roamed far and wide in the local area. You would think a school with the same name as one I had attended would stick in the mind. Perhaps I did know at the the time but the woolly memory let me...

Hi Lyn, I had no idea that there was another school called St George's. As the old saying goes "you learn something new every day":):) Nodd KD, up to date on schools

Somewhat confused by this post. St George's School was on the corner of Plough and Harrow Road and Beaufort Rd in Edgbaston. A long way from Burberry St and Wheeler St,Hockley. There are some excellent photos of St George's School on Mac Joseph's site,Old Ladywood. I attended this school from...

The Repair Shop. Their skill and knowledge is awesome. They are also genuinely interested in the history of the object and the people that bring them in. Oddly, when people are reunited with their beautifully repaired item I find I have something in my eye! No idea why. ;)

Seen in the main gate sentry box at Seaton Barracks,Plymouth. Ring a ring o protons A pocket full of neutrons A fission, a fusion We'll all fall down. Try this. Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get the postman a letter. When she got there,the cupboard was bare so they had it...

Thanks Maurice,I shall stop holding my breath:D

Hi Stitcher,I am too young to have driven for Overland but in the middle to late sixties I knocked around Acocks Green with Alan Ragg. I believe his Dad worked for Overland as a manager or foreman,we didn't see a great deal of him.Occasionally a truck would be parked outside his house. Alan had...

Concerning the nature of Boomy's departure a quote about toys and prams leaps to mind:joy::joy:

Only visited this cinema once. Went to see Dr Who. Never went again,can't think why.:worried:
