Wish I could put photos on but havn't a clue even though it is explained to some extent in other places on the Forum. We have had another addition to our family, another Great Grandchild, our sixth. This time a boy, Hurray!!!. Our youngest Grandson brought him down on Monday on his way to his...

Love the look of that garden centre Steve. Nice also to see the help they are giving to the needy

All these sayings brought back so many memories. Will be using them in the Lunch club we attend, bringing back memories for them too. From this came the memory of "Down in the jungle, living in a tent ........." Can't remember which programme it was on but loved them. Wish I could find some now.

Done well there Steve. Wish i had the strength to do that. Like your wooden structures holding the plastic containers

All this confirmed my belief that I have become a grumpy old git. Bring back the old Birmingham of which we were proud. However, each to his own

Just looking at third photo in post one, No 30 bus, and wondering if brakes had failed as there is a chock under the offside front wheel. Or was that an old fashioned wheel clamp ????

Our doctors was a Dr. Butler and his wife, on Reservoir Road at Stockland Green. His surgery was an ordinary house just near the shops. Like others we just turned up and waited our turn. Mom had a long term sickness and saw him regularly for which he charged her 10 shillings a month. I was about...

It's one of our great grandchildren's fifth birthday today and it reminds me of mine in 1936 when my parents bought me a scooter with "wire spoked wheels". How posh I felt as everyone else had them with tin plate wheels. They had it from [I think] Halfords on High Street Erdington. If I remember...

Same her Richard, remember her so well

Thanks so much for your contribution to the history of your family and for the referral to Staffs Home guard article. I found it most interesting particularly as just after the war I went on a holiday to Holland arranged by Handsworth Technical school. We sailed from Harwich on one of the troop...

Ospreys For many years I have enjoyed watching the Ospreys at various sites in Scotland during our many holidays there. Due to age can no longer visit Scotland, but enjoy every day looking at the live videos of them on their nests. Whilst some of the sites have closed there is one run by the...

Welcome Vilma. I suppose it was scary in a way, but I think we just got on with life. I am so glad we have such good memories of all we had in those days and indeed of all the memories created by this wonderful Birmingham History site.

Only just come across this thread. How wonderful the memories like cookie. I used to go with Mom every Saturday morning and also remember Pimm's. I remember going on the Saturday after it was bombed and the sad feeling I had. If I remember right, after it reopened, presumably the council, put an...
