Hi Terry,thank you very much for your reply. So sorry to hear your sister passed away at such an early age. Though I recall the Nativty I really can't recall much else. Susan was probably the first girl I put my arm around! The only name that I recognise from your list is Gerald Burgess. I...

Sure do. In my very limited time as a trainee electrician I helped install the electrics and lighting. Also saw all the victorian objects installed. If I remember correctly there was free or very cheap beer available for anyone working there. I was forbidden by my boss to partake as I was only...

Oddly several members of the photograph appear to be wearing sunglasses. If they are, anyone any idea why? I doubt if they are civilian glasses but may have been issued for some reason.:cool: NoddK-D,the curious.

My uncle was a carpet fitter,Ted Willis, so our first fitted carpet would be about 1965,just after our move from Hockley to Acocks Green. Nodd KD

Just read that article. Interestingly Eunice Essex mentions Circular Road backing onto Dolphin Lane. I lived in 45 Circular Rd where according to our neighbour the rockery was made from the roof of an air raid shelter. I wonder if it was the one mentioned by Eunice? As an aside our neighbours...

Probably the same number of visitors to Germany that can't find Cologne.:worried::worried::D

Saw this plaque whilst on holiday in Redruth. I wondered if it could be of interest to anyone following the long arm of Birmingham.

I should hope not. The rebuilding may never be completed but Birmingham will never be 'finished'. With BHF around no-one would dare.:D:D Keep up the good work Brummies.:innocent: NoddKD

Thanks for that Michael. I had no idea how much musical entertainment I had over that weekend.:D:D NoddKD

Have to be honest Steve I hadn't a clue. I do recall that I enjoyed tremendously. Very grateful to Michael Ingram for taking me back all those years. NoddKD.

Me and my brother's at Reading Festiva! 1979. We lived in it for four days. NoddKD, in hippy mode.

Hi Lloyd,sorry for the delay in replying. A family funeral and my son's passing out parade took priority I'm afraid. Thanks for your prompt and comprehensive reply. I am often amazed at the depth of knowledge and subject interest on this site and your reply is very much in keeping with the help...

Just been looking on another Birmingham website and spotted a very strange looking bus. It's make is AEC with a depot?number 93. Destination board shows 1A,can't make out the rest Registration AHX 63. In the picture it appears very narrow and has the boarding platform at the front. The...

Thanks Pedrocut. I was beginning to think I had imagined it. NoddKD

That reminds me. Does anyone remember the tower crane that collapsed in Ladywood around 1961/62? I was in big trouble for leaving the school playground at lunch time to have look. I think the company building the flats was Bison. NoddKD

Same for me Lyn. No8 from Farm St. Who knows we may have been on the same bus. Books for me at that time were Jennings, Billy Bunter,Famous five and good old Biggles. Happy days. NoddKD

Hi Viv, have to say many fashions keep me amused. Currently the hilarious hair styles sported by men and the trend for young women dressed in their finery with huge great boots on their feet. Would be interesting to see how they feel in twenty years time.:D:D NoddKD. Easily amused.

I spy the entrance to The Hole in the Wall pub. Spent many an hour in there. Quite often lunch times with an oppo that worked in a camera shop in Martineau Square. Happy days. NoddKD
