Have to agree, I was there 68-73, almost better than goingto the Chestnuts for lunch ws winding the lecturers up afterwards !

Aah ! that accounts for it then. Only saw the'Ye Saint George he was for England' part as I drove past and couldnt see the connection. Thanks Lencop.

Has the Redhill pub in Hay Mills always been called the Red hill ? Reason I ask, is that I drove past the other day, and noticed that there is some script written around the walls 'St George for England' or something like that - but hard to make it out, especially as I was driving at the time.

The WW1 memorial was more or less opposite the bombuilding in the picture, but as I remember it, it was a wooden case with a glass front, behind which was a paper memorial. Theres a picture of it on the forum somewhere, but I have'nt been able to find it. Last I heard it was in the possession...

This the place ? Dunno where it was, but its the same name.

Heres an old one.

Didnt like Rebeccas much.. The girls were a bit too rough.. LOL. Barbs had bands, Samamnthas and Barbs both let girl students in free certain nights. Ahh to be young eh ! The only 59 club I remember was in London, Hackney I think. There was also the 1621 on Hemel Hempstead high St,where I...

The back entrance to Yates' was in Cannon St, opposite the Windsor. Name rings a bell, but I cant place the Parisien at all, must've been in there, spent half my life in pubs and clubs up town in those days. Usually the Ringway club, Samamthas and Barbarellas. Depending on what night and who I...

Yeah, I remember the Incog, Steve Gibbons saturday lunchtimes. 1974 ish, saturday nights he used to do the Barrell Organ in digbeth, then somewhere else after that. Hard working band or what ? I reckon Midnight City was in digbeth, somewhere behind the civic hall, but thats a bit before my...

Re: tilton road girls school If its nostalgia your after-heres the Ovaltine version... Look good an a box of Dairy Milk wouldnt it ? Notice the name of the corner shop ... L Twigg ! Twiggs I remember was at the other end of little tilton. just past the junior school entrance.

bit noisy when paul jones made that film as well, went on all night playing bolero one time, IIRC.

You might like this, although your house wont be on it. It came from this site, but I cant find the thread, hope the member who posted it wont mind...

Somethings telling me by the Racecourse, but I'n not 100% sure where it was. My guess is opposite where the Bromford pub is/ corner Drews La.

Bromford ?

Still there about a month ago.

Yeah, I see your point. But the houses in Heybarnes Rd are surely pre 1950. I'm pretty sure there was no school in there, even in the 60s it was allotments I think. Rootes factory was the otherside of the A45, and the other side of the river was rough ground used to have the fair there, and I...

I've seen the picture before, and I thought it was here. which would put the river in the right place. Long time ago now, but I'm sure the when I was a kid there was a concrete or asphalt patch, maybe even a pavillion approx where the bushes are in the centre of the picture, which I though would...

I could be miles out with the date, but I think there were some IRA bombings in Brum during 1935. Not sure what others, if any, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the Trocadero in Temple St was blown up. Anybody else ever heard of this ? cant find anything on the interweb.

I think therewas a pub called the plume, or the feathers......something like that.

Pop round Brum I remember was usually Masons, Corona was more expensive I think, and had bottles with the wires on the cork, like some fancy german beer bottles do. Then thre was the bigger bottles, Cheathams, and Beaumonts - or something lke that.
