From this, the New Zealand government paid £100 million for the fist series to be filmed there. Chances are, our government paid a whole lot more than that. While it's possible that Amazon will have something entirely unrelated to the writings of Tolkien which would enable to set some of it in...

As I remember it, the Traf was getting a reputation for drugs (as were several other bars in Moseley) so they closed it down for a while. At least it's open again. Although all I saw in a brief visit before the virus happened was one bar (the one on Trafalgar Road), I don't think any of the...

As far as I could see (and I could be wrong) this guy is wearing something with an odd top button (3 holes - they've not been used that much) and it seems to have a pattern of sorts. There's not much contrast there but the designs seem to be circles or spirals. Neither of these seem to fit with...

Looking at the photograph, I'd say he was wearing some kind of patterned shirt with what appears to be an ornamental button at the top. It doesn't look like a uniform the big button has three of its holes clearly visible and uniform buttons tend to have loops at the back. From the other pictures...

I remember going to a few in the 80s or 90s - generally for the stuff that wasn't in N&C or the other comic shops and keeping to books mostly because it was hard to follow a series with their schedules.

I don't think the van outside was parked. I've zoomed in a little and you can see the driver in it. This picture is part of a sequence of half a dozen or more pictures that, admittedly, concentrate on what is going on outside the church at the left of the shot. There is at least one other that...

Couldn't have lasted much longer. I think Roses moved in in 1980/81 and there were quite a few alterations made before then.

There's a lot said about why the houses around there were pulled down. Most obvious reason is that the city were working through the area slowly and it was their turn. They'd done the bit between Bristol Road and Pershore Road in the 60s and this was next. There were some false starts (the...

One mistake in the text beneath the page. S Rose closed in April 2001 not the late 00s.

Possibilities. Most tablets have some form of built in camera and usually two of them one facing front and the other back. You can use that to photograph your cards direct to the tablet. In a lot of cases the charge lead for the tablet will connect to a 3 pin plug by means of a USB port. You...

When I was young I moved to what was then called the "Calthorpe Park Estate" which ran from Belgrave Road at one end to Priory Road at the other. This was around 1964. At the Belgrave Road end there are (and were) three tower blocks named after places in Canada (Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver) at...

They moved from 41/43 (later H Samuels) to 104 sometime between 65 and 71.

Had the first of the AstraZeneca jabs at the beginning of the month. I was OK for a few hours then it hit me like a bad case of the flu for 3-4 days. Due the next one at the start of May. hope it doesn't hit so bad next time.

If the browser that the complaint is about isn't IE, chances are that IE is also on the PC and updated. I doubt they'd suppress windows updates and it should be in with those. There might even be a copy of Edge.

There are many problems with digitising photographs and Birmingham library will have more than most. A lot of people have given their collection of photographs to the library but, in many cases, they don't own copyrights. For example, a community organisation might have a lot of old photographs...

As far as I know HTML standards haven't changed for years so the "outdated browser" message is likely to be a con of some sort. Did it suggest one in particular? Internet Explorer may be so old that Microsoft no longer supports it but it shouldn't have trouble displaying anything from most web...

As long as I can remember people have called "modern music" tuneless and such. I've heard they used to say the same long before I was born. All it really means is that whoever's saying it thinks everything was so much better when they were young and could sing along and dance to the music...

I don't really think there's anything I didn't like that I do now. There's a lot of old stuff that is just bland. It's not irritating but most of the time you can't remember it 3 minutes later. I haven't kept up so much over the last 10 years or so but what I do hear doesn't seem to be much of a...

There's also a lot of material at archive.org...

I don't know if this will actually work for all of you but Free Music Archive host a lot of material - most of it modern and alternative - but they do have a series of transferred material from "antique phonograph" records that you should be able to download for free. This link should get you to...
