Love the old comedy shows,Hi De Hi,Man about the house,George and Mildred, I could go on but you get my drift. Currently enjoying Shelley. I am a former Royal Marine but never watch fictional military programmes. So much is wrong it makes me cringe. Also my wife hates me shouting at the tv.

Something of a post swerve here methinks.

Trying to find former Royal Marines John Mapp and John Piggford joined The Corps 1969/70. Both hailed from Northfield. Any help would be appreciated. NoddKD

Sorry I have only scant information about my own heritage in Balsall Heath. I am trying to find more info from my cousins. I believe they may have some family records from the time our parents/Grandparents lived in Wrentham St. If I find anything that may be of interest to you I will pass it on...

St George's School, Beaufort Rd.Around 1959/1960.

I really have no knowledge of the family much before about 1958/59 when I was about 5. I think I need find if other members of the Dunn have memories or records of the family. Snag is,I am the eldest so their memories are probably worse than mine. Funny how a small thing can trigger an interest...

WOW! Thanks for the quick reply very much appreciated. I have no knowledge of an address for them except Balsall Heath Rd. As I stated in my original post I am not very familiar with the area and have no idea where Wrentham St is. Coincidentally I have a cousin called Ann,the daughter of my...

Anyone recall Boobs Nightclub in Yardley, opposite the Swan. Met my first wife in there on a night when The Baron Knights were performing,all went downhill thereafter:(:(

1964/65 spent many a happy hour on the bomb pecks around the Lucas factory. Plenty of lead pipe and cast iron window sash weights to take to the tat yard. Made quite a few bob. Never heard the expression bomb peck until we moved from Edgbaston to Hockley. Happy days NoddK-D

I joined the 1A Life boys in early 1963 at the Peoples Chapel. I was 10 at the time,eventually moved on to the Boys Brigade. I recall we paraded in Harry Lucas School in Farm St. I played football a few times for the Company at sports field in/near Perry Barr. I usually walked there from...

Too young to know the pets corner but I do have memories of Lewis's. I would be sent there every saturday to collect two tins of National Health milk powder for my little sister. We lived in Wellesley Street in Hockley,I would walk to Key Hill to catch the train to Snow Hill, 3d for a return...
