I'm trying to upload a pic, but it's too large! No, it's OK now!!!!!!

Yes, they are heavy, I know what you mean. Mine are just about the right size for me to move.

That's the good thing about glazed pots, you can repot them year after year, or re top them with soil, makes the garden look brand new. Well it's a lovely day here, a wrap up day. But I'm recovering from a hospital visit yesterday (no need for concern), so I'm staying in. Hopefully tomorrow...

Sorry, bit boring, but I got out today, wrapped up warm and tidied my 100 plus pots in my completely paved garden! Hope you have all had decent weather today.

Is there a picture of it when it was the times building, with its neon lights.

Interesting. I'll have a more detailed look later, thank you.

This is a really interesting thread for me. I'm so into buildings, but I never thought of art deco buildings being in Birmingham!

I went to a balti house last night in Ladypool Rd. Extremely good food. Obviously I know the basic history on balti houses in Birmingham, but if anyone can offer me any more info, it would be great to learn.

Yes, there is gaming. I wanted to get to Victoria Square, but I'll wait a bit, as the roxy ballroom will be occupying the site!

Just seen this advertisement. Has anyone been to this?

Haven't been for 25 years. Wondering if I should remember it as it was?

Please put my name down, I'm Kathryn! Thank you. I'll see what I can bring for the raffle.

I've been thinking about the hauliers in St Martins Row. The maps are excellent that have been added, but have only fueled my desire to want to know more. Would that property have been only commercial, would the Strawbridges lived at the site? My family have talked about the Strawbridges...

I had a response from Bryan. He doesn't have any copies of the book but he said he will let me know if he gets any.

OK, thanks. I will post as soon as he responds to my email. Thanks for looking everyone. I'm sure you will let me know if you do find the book

Arh, ex history teacher? That's interesting. What leads you to think that?

Bryan Drew definitely wrote the book. I have sent an email to him, thanks.

Odd isn't it how it's nowhere. Perhaps there were only a certain amount published as it was a family history publication?

Yes. It is.

I've seen the link Lyn, but it doesn't help with finding the book. But thank you for mentioning it. Broomfield Lad, no. That's not the book, but thank you anyway.
