Hello Sandhu. The whole street was full of lovely houses, & a few shops too. It was sad to see everything being demolished to make way for aston expressway. I loved my time living in bracebridge street, as well as other streets in aston.

Mike. I know which cafe in question, but I can not remember either. I used to have sandwiches from there when I worked down electric avenue in 1969. I was a trainee welder making tables & chairs for schools just after leaving school.

That is how I vaguely remember him. Only saw him a couple of times but had the impression that he was a decent person, hence the reason why I always went to the lorica. I was always made to feel welcome, unlike a few places I care not to mention. When I heard about the nightclub, I assumed the...

His name sounds familiar Phil. Never saw much of him.If my memory serves me well, I think I only ever saw him in there a couple of times. I can only remember one member of staff from there. She was a girl named margaret. I know she lived up the hagley road. I know when I used to go in the cafe...

You are right Phil. far too many years have passed me by & my memory is not as good as it used to be. I vaguely remember talk of a club going to be opened up stairs. I never went back after that.Spent a lot of time in a cafe on stratford road instead. Lived above that cafe, but can not remember...

manzil was next to the police station, but a couple of doors down by the traffic lights was The Lorica cafe.Spent many happy nights in there.

I used to spend many a night in the lorica. It was the best place to hang out with some of my fiends. Had many happy times in there.

Laurie knowledgeable brummie has reminded me that the club was dolls before daddy long legs. What it was before dolls, I just do not know. This has taken me back to my teens.(such a long time ago).

I heard there was another room, but never asked about it. I was only just 18 & a bit too laid back. Never knew what it was called before daddy long legs as I was new to clubbing.

Never went to dolls,I had heard about what it was & was scared to go in. I bet your lad had a great time.

Very good Alan.

I used to work for ICC when I worked at Carrefour at minworth, & castle bromwich car plant. The daddy long legs club was the first club I had ever been to, so sat in a dark corner with my drink for most of the night. Had many happy times there.

I remember the daddy long legs club that later became dolls. Had many good times in there, but was never any trouble when I was there. I used to just sit in a dark corner most of the night when I first went.

I almost cried when the old bullring was being demolished. I used to work in woolworth's in the cafeteria. I worked in the kitchen. Loved that job.

It is possible I may have caught your bus many times, as I used to catch the 116 into work when I worked at carrefour at minworth.

From what I can recall, they had a large area on the 5th floor which was near the toys section. From what I remember, they used to have santa's grotto near to it at christmas.

Hello Gerry. One of my cousins used to drive for midland red. He had done since leaving school. You may have known him. His name is Raymond Howell. After midland red ended, he went straight into working for Arriva in Tamworth. He has now retired. I remember Star taxi's. I had most probably got...
