And what a handsome man he was Dennis. He'd probably be called a "babe magnet" these days.:friendly_wink:

I had my first date with my (now) husband at The Clarendon. No wonder they pulled it down! :black_eyed:

Lyn, I shall be there if I'm in the country! We usually have a winter holiday just before Chrimbo., but may go a bit earlier this time so put me down as a possible. Thanks Charlie

Re: Sabbath Desecration: Not much has changed, has it? Sounds like Broad Street on a Saturday night :unconscious:

My remark about it being a "convenience" store was, of course, a pun! I can't see it being a Tesco Express, not even a wee one......

Dennis, this is one of my favourite threads on the Forum. Thank you so much for your efforts, I LOVE looking at all the photos.

Thinking of Mike today, a true gent and a lovely Brummie.

Great news Lyn. Up and at 'em girl!

Always something new to learn on this Forum. Many thanks!

Actually, I guess I was thinking of the Cincinatti thingy - just got my American states confused. Frothy: I wouldn't wind you up, I wheely wouldn't!

What a beautiful house Dennis. We've lost so many beautiful houses to redevelopment #sigh#

Wasn't it something like the Minnesota Mining Co.? Erm....maybe

I'm not far from Bewdley. Can you tell me where this graveyard is please (won't go on me own, honest)!

OMG! I believe Owen Poolton was Winson Green at one time in the 20s as well. An illustrious family ain't we? Well...that merits more investigation (pardon the pun).

Fascinating read Jean, thanks so much for posting. Fancy not wanting to work on the night before your wedding...tut tut :fat::fat:

Ah...Carolina! So that's the link from your ex-husband's family. I think I told you I used to visit "Auntie Aggie and Uncle Joe" in Key Hill (shop), but could never find a connection with my family, so I thought it was just one of those instances when you called all adults Aunt and Uncle when...

I was only at the senior school and it was all girls, Miss Fairhead was head teacher. I transferred from St Mary's Junior and Infants. The junior school at Canterbury Road had both boys and girls though. Lovely school, we actually left able to read and write (unlike some of them these days)!

Stephen: My aunt's ashes were buried in my uncles grave @ Lodge Hill. Aunt emigrated to Australia after uncle died, the children bought her ashes back to be buried in the grave. Hope this helps.

Lovely to see these photos again. Re the photo of "Charlie and her school pals" Di. Please note that I'm the good looking one, not the one pulling the stupid face. I'm also an accomplished liar!
