    Newspapers : From Birmingham Post 150 years ago

    The "stews" of Seven Dials (Covent Garden) were well known to be the very bed of iniquity!!! (So I believe)

    My son and daughter-in-law used to live in a barn conversion over the road from the Arboretum at Croxall. It flooded twice and is probably flooded again - thank god they moved out!

    Brilliant photo Judy, thanks. I used to go there regularly in the early sixties. I went to most of the coffee bars/clubs in the early sixties mind. Misspent youth?

    The Waterloo, Smethwick

    Absolutely Fabian! I saw the report on it going to auction, so sad that it's been allowed to detoriate this badly (although I believe the interior to be intact). I remember the steaks being thrown onto this huge grill to be cooked, and the tiling was spectacular. Really hope this can be preserved.
