No, I was only 6yrs old when I lived there.

Hi Radiorails, the text says otherwise. The one photo says Icknield Square & Leach St is in the background which suggests that the bus is heading for Spring Hill. The other photo mentions the Post Office which suggests that a bus would be heading for Hagley Rd. You have to CHECK THE MAP. Unless...

Apologies if I am continuing this debate on too long. I must agree with with Radiorails in that having a clock at Monument Rd station and Icknield St (a matter of about three stops) is too close. The text on these two photos suggests that there are two clocks opposite each other on the Monument...

The book I have is this one Unfortunately, the photo is no clearer in the book. Also, this is a photo of the Volcano cafe which was on the other corner of Hingestion St. Incidently, when I first came to Birmingham in 1952, I lived in the flat above the valeting shop, next door to that cafe.

Hi Tuppenny Rice, here is the text to that photo which mentions Sydney.

Apologies Radiorails, I've just looked up the Inner circle book and you are right about the direction of the No8 bus and the Bundy clock on Monument Rd railway bridge. Do you know if there was a clock on the opposite side (anti clockwise).

Hi Radiorails, as you say, there was a Bundy clock on the anti clockwise route at the Monument Rd railway bridge, but that is the opposite way to the previous photos of the clockwise bus outside the cafe. Was there a Bundy clock on both sides of Monument Rd?

I can remember many times the bus stopping there for a few minutes. Because there is no Bundy clock on any photo I've seen at this location, I assume that they only stopped there to to have their billy can filled with tea.

Would just like to thank Warren for his efforts in resolving this problem.

I'm not the only one then. Even as I write this it's moved over to a smaller pop-up. I will try Ghostery but would be willing to pay a subscription to enjoy,ad free, one of my favourite Forums.

Starting today, I'm getting a random youtube video on this website and cannot delete it. It looks like it's by Humix (whoever they are). No matter what page or category I'm on, the video is there.

Today, I keep getting a pop up youtube video of Berlin by Humix. It's on the home page & every other catagory I go into. It is only happening on The Birmingham History Website. Is this just my problem or has anyone else experienced this?

Like my posts before, this is a made up video image of the Shareholders pub in Park Lane in the 1960s. It is made up of various photos and a bit of imagination. Anyone who used the Shareholders then might find this interesting. Although we had our wedding reception there in 1967 I cannot...

Blimey! I reckon Tony was around 18yrs old back then and I looked up to him. I thought he was really cool ( remember Kookie in 77 Sunset Strip). I myself went to the Proof House many times. Unfortunately, Tony's Dad didn't like us as we were always messing about in that entry. Many a time he'd...

Thanks for your comments BOB1, I guess that explains the dereliction. I'm still wondering why that was the only house in the street with columns either side of the front door. Incidently, I don't know if the Woolaway family lived there in 1960 but, I too knew one of the sons. Before I left...
