Hi There was certainly a photographers shop in the arcade, about two thirds of the way down on the right if you were walking towards Colmore Row. Quite a big double fronted shop, with cameras in the one window, and astronomical telescopes in the other. Sadly, I can't remember the name of the...

Hi, If the date letter is an 'h', then it would to be from 1882. A 'chamfered corner' box was used as well as the more commonly illustrated oval box for the letter in some years. Is it a coincidence that the script initials on the enamelled side appear to be 'JJ' and the engraved name is J...

Hi, I wonder if your family tree actually shows if Jessie Hemming did marry Archie Bicknell ! Kind regards Dave

Hi, Anyone buying EF50s these days would probably only want them as spares for a piece of equipment that used them, rather than building something new. I think these days you would probably havea task trying to find the B9G bases too. Incidentally, for those who have never had one apart...

Hi So did Mason's. And in the early 50s, the bottle of pop was only 4 1/2d, so the pop cost half what the bottle did. Kind regards Dave

Hi, Rivers always finally output to the sea, so although they don't necessarily reach the sea themselves, they join other rivers that do. So locally the Rivers Blythe and Cole and Tame don't reach the sea themselves, but the Blythe and Cole join the Tame, which joins the Trent, which joins...

Hi, Very belatedly, yes, the door was in Fore Street near the junction of Cannon Street, and the snooker hall stretched on the first floor the whole length of Fore Street and faced onto Corporation Street. I remember going up there with some mates, and waving to the girls in C & A's 1st floor...

Hi, I understand that the components of the K6 boxes were cast in Scotland, at the Lion Foundry and the Carron Foundry ( of carronade fame). Kind regards Dave

Hi, My grandfather smoked Craven 'A' and he died in 1938. He left behind him some opened packets of 20, which my Gran had put into some bags of knitting wool "to keep the moths out". There they remained until the late 50's, when I found them in my mid teens. They certainly had real cork round...

Hi Pete, Conversely, I don't suppose she would fancy us old codgers much either! Kind regards Dave

Hi Pete, I don't blame you, those drip feed fires were notorious for faults, We did have one when they first came out, but soon got rid of it. The conventional paraffin fires never seemed to give any bother though, you just had to keep the wicks trimmed. I liked the smell of an oil stove...
