I was there with three of my friends a few months ago. I have been there many times over the years (I think it has been there for at least 20 years). It can be a bit busy at times, but is somewhere that you can get a seat, have a conversation and be easily heard. It is much larger than you might...

I guess you have tried the cricket club itself Jeanette? I would think there is a chance they might have one, or may be able to suggest former players that are still members of the club, who might be able to help you with your search. I used to occasionally watch their games back then, hoping to...

Horse? (you missed one) ;)

Lovely pub, both inside and out. Great news!

Bathams of Brierley Hill, do a very nice best bitter and a tasty mild. My friends and myself, will definitely look forward to popping into The Woodman again, to see what it has to offer.

Mike has explained that, much better than I would have been able to, at #9 above. By the way, I did go a few weeks without getting e-mails too, but have now started to get them again over the past week or two. Nice to hear from you again Paul.

I read the following in "The Times" on Saturday and I found the article quite shocking, for more reasons than one: Birmingham will be left with a vast “white elephant” station after Rishi Sunak’s decision to scrap large swathes of the HS2 project. Sunak announced in October that the second...

Was it on this night (4/12/69) that you got Robert wet boilerman? ;)

Some more cracking concerts that were held at the Town Hall back in 1962, 1962, 1968, 1963, 1969, 1964 & 1964:

Yes it is.

It has had 4.3 million views to date. ;)

Ozzy and Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, were a big part of the recent new kit launch video by Aston Villa. If you haven't seen it yet, it brought a smile to many faces :laughing:, it was very nice to see the boys playing themselves and having such fun again...

There is a more recent thread that is well worth a look. It has photos/information on this graveyard and is titled: Park Street Burial Ground

Further to my previous post. I have found the following from "A brief history of the Midland Gliding Club" (1) & "UK Airfields & Airports" (2) : "a training ground was acquired at Handsworth, Birmingham where pilots enjoyed very short downhill flights in bungee launched primary gliders. At the...

I used to always check the time on the clock on the Rotunda, when I was coming into town on the bus. I was usually "fashionably" late. :scream:

I see that former England batsman David Lloyd (Bumble), has written about this in his "Bumble On The Test" column in today's "Mail on Sunday", under the headline "Restore The Cats": "Great uproar at The Wellington pub on Bennett's Hill, where the owners have banned the two cats Malt and Hops...

Was there once an airfield on the site of Handsworth Golf Course, or on part of it for gliders (in the 1930s)?

As the petition now has over 4,500 signatures, it would be interesting to know how that compares with the number of any actual complaints Black Country Ale may have received, for them to feel able to use the term "many" when referring to people who do not want the unsolicited company of a cat...

I've played there many years ago. Lots of trees and a bit of water, as I remember all to well.... There is an 11 minute film available on YouTube that shows the course hole by hole: 365. Handsworth Golf Club. Smithy 100 Golf Courses in a Year
