Hi Lyn. That is Penn Street, it continued from Gopsal Street. I was ecstatic when I found it this morning. I have seen some fantastic photos of town and all the areas I know well but the Eagle and Ball and Penn Street have been the only ones from my “patch” Of course I have seen photos of...

Hi Dennis, I hope it is okay to reply to this old post. I used to live in Gopsal Street until 1968. The top end. Thank you so much for the photos. Great to see the Eagle and Ball , which has been renovated for the University students. This is the first photo I have seen of Penn Street before...

This is going to be off thread Mike, I know, so please feel free to delete. I have posher shoes than Ravel which have style rather than be fashionable. We all know that fashion fades. Unfortunately I broke my ankle in two places in October and still recovering. Proper shoes, just simply...

Thanks again for the great photos Steve. I used to love shoes and remember buying a pair from Ravel. They were a bit posher than Stylo or Freeman Hardy & Willis and that explains why I still have them in their box after only wearing once.

Yes Viv, Was going to comment on the colours. Great.

Hi Jimbo, It is a great pic....My first thought was that John would love it. Regards

Loved the Chopsticks Lento. Our favourite Chinese Restaurant in the sixties.

Hi Janice, Know this Road very well, used it for many years. It was the main route we used when visiting my parents from Burntwood to Sheldon. It is the usual route for us when going into Brum too. Obviously not used it of late because of lockdown. Many thanks.

Lol It is a great pic, I agree. Thank you for your response. Regards,

Hi Maurice, I agree with what you say about the Market Hall and Rag Market. For me so many happy memories, one favourite being a plate of whelks or penny winkles. Loved going there Saturday afternoons with my mom. I have mentioned this on another post. The Photo is great but a bit before my...

Thank you Tates for these lovely photos. Regrds

Thank you so much for this photo. I now remember how New Meeting Street used to look from this angle. All I have to do now is try and remember the name of the “beatnik” cafe I frequented in 1966. Much appreciated. Regards,

Even though there is a breeze in this photo Steve, it just looks so calm.

FAB U LOUS!

Great photos of the Boys Brigade. Although my husband was born in Kingstanding, when he was older he moved to Perry Beeches. It’s there that he joined the Boys Brigade at the Methodist church, Thornbidge Avenue. Regards,
