Hi Geoff did you live in Holte road by any chance?. Dave Pete felt the end of f...y Taylors cane on many occasions.

Hi Alan Pete's dad used to save the cabbage water and drink it as he said it was full of iron. I was never keen on the fat/jelly when it was spread on bread though Morturn. I did enjoy pigs trotters in pea soup though.

I remember a tackle shop at the bottom of Witton road by the island. Will ask Pete if he remembers a tackle shop on Tame road Pedrocut.

Lynda Mrs Bond to my knowledge (four years ago) is still up and running but does not appear to want to answer my e.mails and messages!. She is still in contact with Dorothy Holland who arranged Miss Plants funeral some years ago and that is the last I have heard!. If I do hear anything I will...

After the strike my husband retained his job and moved to a depot in Aldridge as did most of the other workers. After that a depot was opened on the Tyburn road and is still there. We used to go to the Ansells club most Saturdays when our twins were young and played tennis and squash there.

Pete lived at 51 Di on the right and the house is still there. Looking from street view though the gardens at the back is one large car park!!.

I had the privilege of meeting Len on two occasions the second when he was in hospital. We had a joke about my one and only attempt to paint [a picture that is].

They always treated us well!. Have heard some bad things about the place Frothy but the mom fell in love with our twins when they were very young. The son and his wife divorced a while back causing the closure of the shop. Had many a bargain from there over the years!!.

The second photo looks as though it is facing Kingstanding circle further down the road. Going to Castle Brom tomorrow and will take a look when passing. I think there is a Chinese Take away on the left out of view!.

Fastest finger first Alen!!.

Jim did you receive my e.mail only each time I messaged you it logged me out!. I am a proper dope!!!.

It is sad to see buildings like these go but the cost of running them is astronomical. I have happy memories from when I first became a swimming instructor and worked part time to begin with teaching adults and life saving. There was a documentary filmed there "My twin and I" and my twins...

Hi Alan they are usually old Birmingham history memorabilia. Nothing like ebay. Anything that helps raise money for the BHF.

Another way of raising forum funds is to have an auction where someone puts an item on a thread and the highest bidder wins. Usually the item is left on for a week and the seller pays postage to the winner. Have not done this for a while and we used to have some fun at the same time too...

I must be honest I can't remember my first visit to a library but I made sure my twins used our local one a lot. They used to have special afternoons with children to encourage them to read and made reading fun. Hi Alan.
