    Newman Bros Coffin Works Fleet Street

    I knew they slung out tons of stuff - cannot believe how empty the place is compared to the original tour a couple of years ago - When we suggested that they keep all the stock and sell them as souvenirs - they didn't believe anyone would want a cofgfin handle etc, and allowed us to take stuff...

    St Barnabas Church Erdington

    I still like to think it is an alien spaceship that has crash landed and melded with the church - hopefully the Gritish bass space vans will repair it so it can 'up and away' in the night!

    St Barnabas Church Erdington

    Alien spaceship land and merges with local church! St Barnabus viewed from the High St However, a closer view through the fencing reveals the lack of interest by the Vicaress and congregation of the forthcoming Annual Remembrance day. 280699 Gunner J Fisher - We will remember you.

    Just spotted your post jennyAnn - Notice there is no provision for the Gravestones. Some have already been removed an not apparantly coming back. Wonder if she will dump the CWG memorials as well as the 'ordinary' people? Brian

    Welsh Chapel Wheeler St

    Cheers Lyn, The old peoples chapel must just have been about to be demolished in the earlier pic, since the new one opened, in 67. What was the chapel top of wheeler St on the left just before Lozells Road, almost diagonally opposite St Pauls? Would that be the Welsh place? Bri
