    Aston Villa history

    Thank you so much for these fantastic pictures. Wonderful that you still have the Argus #110. My dad kept his copy for years and years but like a lot of things in our house got either lost or thrown away. Remembering going into town to see the team on the coach with the cup. My dad shouted...

    Perry Beeches Secondary School

    Welcome BigJohn. I agree with what you say about needlework teachers. I went to Bloomsbury Girls school. Our teacher was Miss Clift She was a tall lady and rather large with goofy teeth. Very intimidating when you are only 13. She was always shouting at you if you made a mistake. If...

    Yes, think you are correct. I have been trying to unscramble memories for the last couple of hours.

    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    It could be the back of the Tower pub?? On that piece of ground there used to be a large mobile van, cannot think of the name/type but guessing John would know if he saw a photo. Lol. Out of it was sold newspapers, sweets and cigarettes (I think). This is where I would collect my papers to...

    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    Another great photo for me Steve. Not far from where I lived. (Gopsal street. I know that one day a photo of Gopsal will turn up here, that is what I am wishing for). My school friends lived here. From memory the dairy was there too. Again, many thanks. Sue

    OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

    Love this photo Steve. I used to operate an NCR in the sixties, when working for Benton & Stone Ltd. Office was so noisy Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings when preparing the wages. All you could hear was the clinkety clank of the machines but it was a great sound. Invoicing days...

    Had one of these in the eighties. For some reason, don’t remember much about it. It was red I think. Only kept it for about a year. Sue

    Aston Villa history

    These are great pics Steve. I am a Villa supporter but my husband follows baggies. I remember this FA cup final. Great to see the team, especially the lovely Jeff Astle. Bumped into him in Teneriffe one year. Felt as if I’d known him all my life. Went to see them at Wembley against Port...

    Film cameras

    Yes, we certainly did John. Have some lovely pictures of it. Funnily enough my son and I were discussing that holiday six months back and he sent me a photo of me and him on maid of the mist. Still on my phone now. Can’t remember why and never did ask how he had the photo..... Just...

    Steelhouse lane

    Thank you for replying Sue. I think you would have remembered him, a very pleasant man and he had a bright blue hut. I knew it would be a long shot but felt I had to ask. I remember most of the places you speak about. Wasn’t the sixties a great era. By coincidence dad used to work for...
