Sounds an interesting family. I can't seem to see the link though.

A top bar. Grand high ceilings with a very unique decor and ambience. I believe it's been the Bacchus bar since at least the late 90's but I may be wrong. It always seems a little under staffed / slow bar service whenever I've been. Oh and can be a pain if you've planned to meet someone that's...

As already said this is the post office vaults. Great yet very small inside. Love on the now pic how you can still make out the white painted sign on the wall. If you zoom in on Google maps you can still just make out the 'No'.

I believe my father attended Archie's between 67-72ish. I went to Archbishop Grimshaw 93-98

It is indeed Chelmsley wood. Great video! 1.44 shows a view from Winchester drive looking towards the shopping centre (you can see the still standing Mail building in the background). Haven't found any other locations yet.

Wow great pics. Is that the same lamppost that I see? The ones the boys are leaning against and the aged darker one in the foreground of the newer pic? Love it!

Truly stunning photos. Well done for getting down there before the bulldozers! I see none of it remains.. but in my boredom I did find the location of the shot of the man and the dog.

Here is the same view today. The farmfoods seems to have weathered the storm and still stands!

I remember this pub from the mid/late 90's and went often for a pre drink before heading into Bham. I don't remember it as the Pullman so that must have been before my time. I always knew it as the Chester arms. Sadly it went the same way as many pubs do now and closed. Gone now and the site has...

Looks like the same entrance to me. Nice work all

I remember it well when visiting in the 90's. As said it was a very enclosed place and warren like. A great place to go for the latest indie clothes (I got many patches and badges from there). Catered for indie fans, mods, rockers, new gen punks. Haven't been near it since about 2005. But many a...

Happy new year all.

Forgive the ignorance but what was a party line?

I’m sure there are many options out there but GiffGaff is a good one I’ve never had a problem with. With giffgaff you can get a sim for free and then you pick your plan. Plans range from £6 to £25 a month depending on how much data you want. £6 is 2gb and I’m guessing that would be more than...

I know that view well. On the way to and from school in the mid 90’s we often walked along it and crossed a narrow risky dam type concrete crossing (just outside old police station). Also great memories walking from Meriden park along it and under the m6 towards coleshill. Great times.

Where would Blythe st have been? I can see Ledsam st so I’m guessing Blythe is a long gone street?

No I’ve not seen that. I’ll have a read. Thanks

Thankfully not. There was talk a few years ago it was going to get knocked down and turned into flats but thanks to an online petition and a little help from Birmingham city council it was saved. How long it will last though who knows? But it’s always busy when I go so business appears good (at...

It is indeed. I’ve had many a good night (and still do) in the 90’s at the Flapper pub on the right. Great for rock music!

Hi all. Quite the long shot but I wondered if anyone on here went to or knew anyone from St Patrick’s in Chelmsley wood. I was there from 85-93. I have such top memories from here and had some great mates and teachers. Sadly the school is gone (burnt down and cleared). I always wanted to go back...
