Same with my youngest who is at Uni in Nottingham - they were having a snowball fight at 1.30am this morning.......

I've also found a few photos from the 70's / 80's of buildings on Newhall St which I had not previously posted (I think!):- Firstly the old Telephone Exchange on the corner of Newhall St and Edmund St:- Next the emblem on top of the Assay Office:- And finally the Queens Arms on the...

HI Lennox - I have posted quite a few of my own photos of the Science Museum on the forum - please feel free to use any you want to in your project. Best regards - Mark

I was born at Dudley Road - something had to take the blame I suppose.......

Happy Birthday Lyn!!!!!

Certain air of inevitability here.............

Brilliant photos - thank you for posting them - do you have any more? By the time I got there a few years later (78/79) the station buildings had been demolished and the tunnels had been blocked up with rubble, but it was still possible to find things if you looked hard enough:- Local...

I think this is Gt Hampton Row - not Gt Hampton St (but only a few yards away)!

Finally managed to get a photo of the comet tonight from the top of Newhall Valley - not brilliant as we had low haze and the brightest supermoon of the year to contend with:- You can just see it in the centre of the picture above the middle bush, sloping top left to bottom right. Zooming in...

Hi Julie - I have sent you a private message - best regards- MARK

Couple of photos of Faulkes:- Doubt you would have a shop like this on Five Ways today.........

Jupiter and 3 of the 4 Galilean moons in the early hours of Sunday morning:- Nice moon out a few hours earlier too:- All I want now is a nice clear horizon just after sunset to get some shots of the comet.........

Thank you - I suggest we all jump into the time machine and go and get some Kunzles cakes immediately. I've got some old coins in the loft somewhere............

From the Smalltime Collection - some calorie and cholesterol-filled delivery trucks from Kunzles - but can anyone put a name to any of these locations please - in the first one the Flowers Ales sign in the background makes me think this one may be a bit south of Birmingham:- Next two - plenty...

Try googling stilltime collection please lyn - see if you can get in that way. Amongst the latest photos I have found on there is this little beauty:-

Can someone confirm if these 2 photos were taken on the Snow Hill side of the station please? And was this Navigation St? Photographs are from the wonderful Stilltime Collection website - another little goldmine!!! - a search on "Birmingham" brings back 571 results - very few (if any) I...

Edit - this and post #2, #3 and #4 copied to this thread from another. Can someone confirm if these 2 photos were taken on the Snow Hill side of the station please? Photographs are from the wonderful Stilltime Collection website - another little goldmine!!! - a search on "Birmingham" brings...

This is in 1905:- This one says it was opened in December 1906 - but perhaps this was a rebuild:- This is from a match in Nov 1906:- Is there truth to the fact it was built on the site of a rubbish tip? As a Villa fan I could say a lot at this point, but I won't.........

Pity it was BBC and not ATV - the MACE Archive is supposed to still hold around 95% of ATV/Central midlands regional news and documentary programs made from 1956 to 1992. It is (allegedly) the most intact local news archive in Britain.

In 1970/71 it is almost certain it would have been recorded on 16mm film - not videotape as portable video cameras were barely in use then and needed an OB unit as well - so if it was on film it could not have been wiped. However the film itself may have been junked. Check with the BBC archive...
