Yes please Steve. Keep 'em coming. Thank you.

I'm in there somewhere. He did. Although Bev had been playing professionally for a couple of years, he had to get a proper job to pay for the H.P on his drums. He became salesman at another great Birmingham store, Kean and Scot.

One of the last gas lamps I should imagine.

There are workshops now on the left. My friend Chris lived in the first cottage until approx 1990. Forge lane is the first road on the left.

I remember the 'Market Hall' back in the fifties/sixties. What a dump. I used to be dragged around there by my mother in the wind and the rain. Many people do wax lyrical about old buildings etc and are saddened by the demolition of the same. I can understand how they feel. I also have been...

WOW!! 1896. Stunning collection of pictures you are making available. Thanks

Tyburn house pub in the far distance. The petrol station on the left is where Tom Bytheway's service centre was, this is now Selco's.
