Glad to see you all had a good time, as per. Will try and make the next one, honest! Amazed Wendy can still look demented even on orange juice hahahahah.:emmersed::emmersed: Weather forecast for Canterbury: Heavy rain and thunderstorms. Reality: Hot dry day with clear blue skies - we carried...

Ah bless! Nice to see a bit of compassion from the Mayor.

Thanks Lyn., that's me off to SpecSavers tomorrow then! In my defence (well, someone has to) it WAS a glance as we were driving past.

Thanks Bren., it IS a lovely building isn't it?

Sorry, drove past very quickly (not me driving lol) and just caught a glance so I'm not sure. It just looked as though everything was boarded up to me, but maybe I'm wrong - it has been known!!!!

Drove past there today. So sad to see yet another pub closed and boarded up.

Lovely photos Bernie, thanks. I had rellies living in both William Street and Communication Row in the 19c. Communication Row is still there of course, with the wall to the railway on one side and the back of the Broad Street shops/clubs on the other. William Street is also there but is now new...

Last time I was down there (quite a while ago) "The Stores" was still there, but boarded up and abandoned. Will try and get around the area again soon.

Maybe they were deciding the rota for the brew 'ouse washing?

Shanme 1901 was before Tesco. They could have had a ready-made market there!

I bet he was a great man and a wonderful Brummie. Glad it all went well Lyn Charlie x

Here's mine: Sorry about the flash .. or someone looking over my shoulder, I'm sure that wasn't there before ... oooher

Thanks Shortie - I found this out as well. They seem to have renamed the whole road Camden Drive though, heaven knows why! My family came from the Camden Grove section, as did Kathleen Dayus. I remember visiting a house there once when I was very young and recalled the name of the people living...

I'm with Firefox Oisin, works OK for me. But them I'm SO computer savvy I put Bill Gates to shame (not)!!!
