I might have seen that one in the same place (but not the same day). Was that the one that had an episode with an over-the-cliff ending in which the hero is seen to have escaped from the car in the next episode although he was visibly in there on the first?

I often get messages like "unable to resolve" etc. It's usually a local network thing. What happens is that the browser is expecting response from the internet faster that it's getting. Unable to resolve host comes when the computer that tells it where the computer it wants is hasn't responded...

Although this is about an art exhibition at the top, if you scroll down you can find details of talks about and tours of the baths this month. https://moseleyroadbaths.org.uk/gala-pool-art

Surprising that, despite the obvious, they resurrected the character for the TV show.

Surprising that people watched reruns of Dixon of Dock Green but no-one seemed to notice the re-run of The Blue Lamp in the last few weeks. Back then PC Dixon could walk down the street, singing, talk to some dodgy character who looked like Dirk Bogarde in a doorway and get shot dead in the...

15 from the clue and the width of the road, I'd guess Belgrave Road corner of either Moseley Road (looks wrong for that) or Longmore Street. 12. That seems to have been a pretty standard design. It's a lot like the one by the cannon hill pub but there's no railway bridge there. There used to be...

A couple of months back the folks from Birmingham LGBT started a history project about the Nightingale to coincide with its 50 year anniversary. If they had any success, you might find they know more than they did then. It might be worth getting in touch with them again if you haven't since 2018.

Considering the picture you've posted here has a date and name for the photographer, it might be worth asking the WMA to get in touch with whoever posted the picture and ask them where it was at the time. By 2015 the site of the old boys club would have changed usage a couple of times so it's...

There seem to be different rules about what happens to old memorials depending on where they were and who put them there. I remember asking around at the time the Methodists plaque was found and it seems memorials in churches are reported to the ruling body of the church. Apparently the...

This appeared on Facebook in a post from the Ark Tindal Primary Academy. "This beautiful plaque, commemorating the ultimate sacrifice made by the old boys of Tindal Street school in the Great War, has sadly not been sighted for some years. We would love to see it returned to the school for...

Where did you get the address for Saunders? In the 1912 directory 100 John Bright St is a publisher (National Labour Press Ltd) but Bright Buildings (shown on the letterhead) is at 110 John Bright Street and Harold Saunders is in office number 9. It's unlikely that you'll find a photo of the...

Clocks that size would run off the mains. There's not enough space for clockwork in the back and batteries wouldn't have managed it. If they were supposed to be different time zones, they'd all have the minute hand in the same place.

This may interest some of you. The Nightingale is starting a heritage/memories project to celebrate 50 years of existence. For some of that time it seems to have been a private members club (and out on the Stratford Road) so you might have missed it. If you're interested and have anything to...

Some clarification needed. If born in 1903 he'd be 116, if 96 he'd be born around 1923. Which? Yes, there would have been consultants and other hospital staff of Asian descent at the end of the 60s. Not many and possibly specialist. Do you have a last name? If he was known as Michael, he may...

what was the site? This list is much too short to be useful unless it's tied to something specific to Birmingham. The date on House of Wax is the US premiere (see above).

The "Community hub" is open for business and has been for some time. They rent out space for art studios, a gallery, and any kind of event. There was a wedding going on there last week. It isn't necessarily open to the general public. If the gallery is open you'll see a sign outside with the...

There's something odd about that. According to the wikipedia article House of Wax was released generally (to all cinemas) in the USA on 25th April 1953. There had been a premiere in New York a fortnight earlier but that would still mean the Rialto had it a week before most of the USA. According...

If there was any thought of evangelism, I would suppose there would have been something to say that the children had to attend Church/Sunday School belonging to that particular denomination. Was there?

As part of Birmingham Heritage week, Balsall Heath History Society will be holding an exhibition at the BMI about the Middlemore homes with some of the case studies taken from their recent lost children project https://www.facebook.com/lostchildrenproject/ The exhibition will run from the 14th...

The thing you get more often today is that there is so much music available and no focus on record charts. Consequently you get rankings that aren't driven by the younger people. Since that feeds back to the streaming services, radio stations etc. you get actual sales that include material that...
