Thanks Old Boy, wifey and I have already earmarked the bus journey for our next visit.

Thanks chocks2, Dave M, you both will obviously understand my sentiments when I say that since leaving the Arboritum I have been strongly drawn back to it, it won't be very long before I pay another visit, it is a place that I feel everyone that is able should find the time to visit. I hope...

Visited the Arboretum today for the first time, a very humbling experience, I must go back because four hours is nowhere near enough time there. Will post some pics later. Brian

I'll be there as well Lyn, Frothy might need some help on his relie recce. :):)

Was The cafe in washwood heath rd, going up towards the bus garage.

Vauxhall Cresta, my favourite car as a youngster.

The fabulous little pub the picture came from. :)

Hi Helen, I have personal experience of a US company taking over a UK one, and have knowledge, through friends, of two or three more. In every instance the US company made wonderful promises about the future while the takeover was being negotiated, as soon as it was completed, lo and behold...

Hi John0, I use a pub that is supposed to be haunted, the Lad in the Lane Erdington, bit of a sceptic myself but this site maybe of interest to you. https://www.birminghamghosts.webeden.co.uk/ Brian

A nest full of these could be a bit worrying Alf. :):)

;) It circled a couple of times, then swooped down and landed, no amount of foot stamping and hand clapping would scare it off, just worried now that it will start nest building. :):)

Hi Jean, to me it looks as if you are sitting in a small pushchair... or dolls pushchair, that looks like a wheel by your right foot, and the handle is right above your head. I could also be completely wrong. :( Brian

Nice one, I was told that at about this time they ceased running the tram down the high st and routed it down new sutton rd instead, I don't know if this is correct. Brian

That is the Palace Chris, The tree is in the gardens of the Swan pub. This picture is circa 1938.

I played for the Bagot crown green bowling team up until about four years ago, no team there now, the green is overgrown and the pavilion is rotting away. I only live five minutes away from it but I wouldn't fancy going in there now. Brian
