Hi Brumgum: I noticed this article last week and have to say that King Kong looks awful painted glossy black.

Re: New forum member needing help Hi Bristolbrummie: As Wendy mentioned in above thread the Burial Registers for Erdington Congregational(as it was once known) are kept at the Main Public Library in Birmingham. I had a quick look to see if they are digitised as BernardR mentioned but couldn't...

Thanks for posting these schedules horsencart. I didn't see any for Outer Circle 11. I used to have an awful time with the fare stages, meaning I would get caught for over riding on my ticket from time to time. Because of this I tried to pay my fare within the appropriate stages. I seem to...

Re: New forum member needing help Hello Bristolbrummie: Here are the Monumental Inscriptions for the old Congregational Church in Erdington and the Evans you are looking for are interred there. Also, if you check out this Erdington News link you will find information on the church the mention...

Remember that building at Wylde Green that was part of the Tram Terminus in years gone by? It was boarded up for years and I often wondered what secrets it held. I found this link today and all is revealed it seems...

Hi Rushburn: Here is a photo of Priscilla the swan. Though on the beach and not on the pier. Our family had a caravan holiday in the 1950's at Burnham-on-Sea. I remember Priscilla but didn't have a ride on her. With three children in the family I suppose the families holiday budget didn't run...

Hi El: I've found pics of the other two pieces of artwork at King Edward's Wharf. The development is very nice and I would imagine the apartments are very expensive. https://media.rightmove.co.uk/96k/95939/22621578/95939_2295802_IMG_00_0001.jpg and...

Hi El: The article in this link explains about the sculptures at King Edwards Wharf. I only heard about Lorenzo Quinn the sculptor who made the figures, about three years ago when his brother Francesco died suddenly at 48 years old in California. Francesco was a well known face on a TV...

As of today the "Monkey" is off Duncan's back. The Whitecaps had a fab game in Montreal winning 3-0 with two goals scored by Camilo in the last few minutes. My nails and many other people's were getting a good biting towards the end of the game. Finally, Duncan gets to witness a win on the road...

Hi Walsallie: Could have been Albert Road School which is not far from Nelson Road. Several of my family members attended there at that time period. My family lived in Witton in Wyreley Road and it was quite a walk for them. My Mother also lived at Witton and she attended Deykin Avenue school...

Hi Mabz:Good luck to Tom. He is doing something he really believes in and I hope everything will be fine.

Thanks for posting that Phil. That area along with the house and gardens must have been a wonderful place.

That's great Wendy. It's obviously cheaper if you can scan the negs yourself and come up with a good result like you have.
