    Good info, thanks, interesting to see where things grow, sometimes in the most unusual of places, under a motorway!

    Growing wild that is edible in the UK?

    Inspired by a post in the gardening 2023 thread. It would be interesting to see what grows wild in the UK that we can eat. Blackberries, it's a start I suppose!

    I keep meaning to keep my magnifying glass near so I can look at one of the bees in detail. They ate such interesting creatures.

    You should wear something to protect yourself from the nettle stings. You never know nowadays, don't mean to alarm you but anything like that that can be avoided, it's probably best.

    Fine rain here today. I'm not wishing my life away, but I'd love to get the jet wash out. Trouble is all of the bedding plants are still looking lovely, I really only jet wash after emptying the pots of bedding plants!!!!!! What am I like!!!!!!

    Oldest Post Box in Birmingham?

    I'll have a look later, I have had a brief look at the post box Map, it's very interesting.

    Oldest Post Box in Birmingham?

    That looks like a 'bullet' style postbox, introduced in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Thanks for pointing it put though.

    Oldest Post Box in Birmingham?

    Interesting, obviously that area has been redeveloped and the post box is still there. That's the kind of thing I'm looking for, hoping to find some more in similar circumstances, for example, Broad Street.

    Oldest Post Box in Birmingham?

    I know where that pillar box is!!!!!!!! Hopefully I will be back around there at some point and I can get a pic. I'm hoping to find a pillar box in Central Birmingham, but perhaps the Digbeth pillar box is as central as it gets.

    Oldest Post Box in Birmingham?

    First King Charles III post box on Isle of Man. Quite saddened to see the vinyl cypher, apparently it was to include the colours.

    The Anchor Bradford Street/Rea Sreet

    Great info in this thread about the Landlords, pics and stories. What date was the pub built, plus a map of the street around that time would be good. Pity I didn't stop and get a better pic.

    The Anchor Bradford Street/Rea Sreet

    I did look up The Anchor, but couldn't find anything, thanks for moving the post. It looked busy on Sunday, like you say, let's hope with the accommodation developments etc that it picks up.
