Hi Dave, I've used this site for some time, it's brilliant. Only problem is, - it's so addictive! Kind regards Dave G0ELJ

Hi Martyn, In those early days of radio, new discoveries and advances were being made all the time, and the allocations of Amateur radio licenses were made for the purpose of experimentation ( and still are!) . There were 2 classes of transmitting licence at that time, - one which you had to...

Hi Lynn, Just reread my post, and realised that I may have given the impression that brasses with Holders on were quite common. I should have said company named brasses in general. I have one that comes to mind with MR on which I would think was Midland Railway. Kind regards Dave

Hi Lynn, I would think it was a blinker brass from the horse's harness. Brasses with the company name were quite common. Kind regards Dave

Hi, I only went to the Cinephone on one occasion, to see a film called 'Love Variations' which I was told was really funny. They weren't wrong, It consisted of a couple in still poses who were obviously trying to keep their balance while maintaining their modesty, with a white coated "doctor"...

Hi Karen, I think the best days were when we first moved there when it was new. Since then most of the shops and pubs have gone, and most of what green space there was is lost. I will always have happy memories of the estate, but I am glad to be back on the east coast where I came to...

Hi Karen, Welcome to the forum. Yes I remember (that's an effort for me these days!) the Woodsman quite well. A friend and I used to meet in there for a while once a week and have a few pints. Area 10 was all of what was known then as Chelmsley Wood Extension as far as Arran Way. Areas 11 and...

Hi, If Mark Tooze's pictures were taken around 1978, I would think the Castle would be unlikely to be Thornbury Castle. Kind regards Dave

Hi, Plaistow Avenue B36 is in Hodge Hill Kind regards Dave

Hi, There's a lot of weight hanging out there, so there must have been very strong bars to support that much. Perhaps the bars were provided for receiving a large delivery before it was put away indoors. Kind regards Dave

Hi Lauren, Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Unfortunately I only worked, not lived in the local area, and did not know any of the local people. Good luck with your quest. Kind regards Dave

Hi Juliewykes. Hob Moor Road runs from Green Lane to Church Road at Yardley Kind regards Dave

Hi Happy memories of this pub when I worked at R. Whites in the late 60s/early 70s. Lunchtime visits for big French Sticks crammed with cheese and ham, washed down by one or two pints of superbly kept Guinness. It certainly seemed a long walk back down Western Road having consumed that lot...

Hi, Mid 60s I lived for a time in the flat over the tobacconists (Walker and Walker) on the other corner of Crown Road - 36A Bordesley Green. I don't remember any activity at that time in the Elite, but there may have been stuff stored in there. Kind regards Dave
