Lyn, if you find any record of Stanley Thomas Terry (details above) I would be very pleased if you could let me know. Thanks, Anthea.

Hi Lyn, My husband, Stanley Thomas Terry attended Upper Thomas Street school. He was born in 1931 so would have been at the school in approximately 1936. He was evacuated to Wales when he was 10 years old so that would have been around 1940/41. He lived in Aston. This is from my memory as...

Yanto, The Blue Coat School was based in Harborne so maybe Harborne Library hold some records relating to the school? I do not know whether the school is still in use today - maybe for some other purpose.

Eric, another of your splendid paintings much admired. Anthea.

My brother used to tell me to 'stop grizzeling' (crying) anyone heard of that one? My Gran used to send me to the Outdoor with a jug and money to collect her tipple (can't remember what it was though - so many years ago !

Great pictures of Princes Corner that I used to pass on my way to Station Road Secondary Modern School many years ago. Thanks for posting and bringing back memories. Anthea.

Eric, I admire your work and compliment you on your art work "Lock up in Steelhouse Lane".

I remember the air show on Billesley common all those years ago.. I found the Harrier Jump Jet interesting and took photos on my small camera. The Vulcan Bomber flew over my house in Cole Valley Road and I remember the plane causing the windows to rattle. Happy memories.....

Stitcher, absolutely love your picture. Here in Paignton no snow at the moment - just blue skies and sunshine, but there is a cold wind blowing !

Handlebar, I also seem to remember Mr Cooper or similar sounding name Coope on a photograph of the Station Road football team together with Mr Stanton, but I guess, that also was lost with the others.

Thank you, David.

Handlebar, I think the photo of the football team posted on the Forum disappeared when the site was hacked quite a while ago. The photo showed Mr Stanton, Headmaster and Mr Abel, Deputy Head.

Lovely painting of St Peter's Church, Harborne where I was Baptised and Married. I believe David Cox is buried in the Churchyard?

Roy Your paintings are really excellent, if I may say so......I might consider visiting Corfu in the future. Anthea

Thank you Warren. Anthea

Eric your very good painting brought back memories of going with my Dad to the Market Hall on a Saturday afternoon when he would have a pot of jellied eels and I would have a dish of cockles and take home a brown paper bag containing penny winks - lovely !

Judy, I worked at Aston University and remember the paternoster lifts - very precarious ! The ones in the South Wing were eventually bricked up. I imagine they were considered a safety hazard.

My late brother worked at the mint. He was a machine tool fitter by trade and obviously kept vital equipment working.

The video brought some lovely memories back for me. I shopped for my vegetables in the outdoor market and if my memory serves me right, carrots were 3 lb a bob!

Lyn, thank you for posting such an interesting piece about Lawson Tait and I must admit I had never heard of him. What a shame he hasn't been recognised for his exceptional work. Anthea
