I don't think we have seen any thrushes fo about four years until Saturday when there four young ones came. Lovely to see them.

Love your garden Steve, always great pics of what's in it. Kat, providing weather good to you I'm sure you will enjoy it. as I've said elsewhere been going to Scotland every three or four years since 1956 and enjoyed it every time. And in all those visits only ever had the holiday spoilt by the...

Once again great pics Steve. Never heard of a Starling being ringed before. Pity e cat see the letters on the rings.

I was eight when the war started, but I can't remember any of those leaflets. Having said that, in those day there were certain things never spoke about in the front of their children, such as death, so perhaps we were shielded from such scary material. I do remember though of my parents talking...

That video is brilliant, especially to me as we used to go to the Star every Saturday as kids. It brought back so many memories of shops like Bon Marche and Wheelers Timber yard

I found those leaflets [more like books] most interesting Chris, thanks for them.

In entry 4 it refers to a map showing where bombs dropped in Goosemoor lane area Does anyone know where this map came from and if there are similar ones for other areas. I'm particularly interested in Slade Road near Abbey/George Road area Thanks in advance

Gruesome !!!

I had been thinking of trying DuckDuckgo but kept putting it off as several questions in mind However the current copy of Computer Active, Issue 662 has a seven page feature about it. The main question remains for me is, if I do change, what happens about my Emails, do I still need Google? Like...

My wife had a problem with a tooth last week and phoned the dentist she used to go to. She hadn't been since before lock-down and thought they may have knocked her off, but no still on, so went last Thursday and had extraction. Now has to go for extension to her present denture. seeing her one...

Like Lyn said, I had not heard of a Lying-in Hospital before now. Most interesting thread

Elgin !! That brings back many memories of when I used to stay with a friend in Nairn. Some of the best holidays of my life up there Havea good day Steve

Thank you Viv for all the work you have put into this subject, I find it so interesting. What I do find confusing is looking at your latest map and the numbers of the houses right opposite the Church, 114 onwards, and my Auntie living at No. 92, yet I still cannot remember the Church.

As they say Steve, "That's the way the cookie crumbles". Love your photos of Mr. Bumble Like a number have said, we have had an influx of Magpies this year, and whilst we had quite a number of blackbirds and other smaller ones, they now seem to have deserted us. The pigeons are regular...

Look forward to seeing those Lynn if you are able to get some photos.

I always used to go to T & Ks for Tekaloid to paint my old bangers. It was wonderful stuff and you could never see a brush mark. Folk always thought I had sprayed the cars. All the Birmingham buses were hand painted using Tekaloid

Thanks so much Viv for the info. and photos. Memory is such a strange thing isn't it. I can still remember the stone above saying Trafalgar place and often wondered why is was called that. Yet I still cannot remember the Church. Perhaps because we always visited from the Lozells Road end...

Shock to the system Pete coming down to 14" from 31"

As I was reading all this about Lozells St. Methodist Church I was trying to imagine where it was. I had an aunt who lived in Lozells St., Olivier Wiggin and we visited her many many times, but I still can't remember seeing the Church. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me exactly where...
