Did not fancy those recipes Alf, did not fancy those Locus Beans or Liquorice Root when sweets were on ration and we had run out of our sweet coupons but I did enjoy the 1/2d packets of Fry's cocoa

Nice bit of reading astonian. Just had a chat with Alf, if you read this Alf put Utube on for me Chris Barber " Its Tight Like That" and also Benny Goodman's " Memories Of You" . I went to see " The Benny Goodman Story " how much I enjoyed it.

OH how I missed out on those clubs, I love Traditional Jazz and seem to remember a jazz club in a hut I guess was somewhere around St Martin's church area and I think the Stone Cross ? somewhere around Coleshill Street. Chris Barber " It's Tight Like That " amongst other favourites that I...

I thought it was one of the creepiest roads in Birmingham, So do I phil, even more so today.

Anyone who has a set top box and can receive the " Yesterday " channel, Ration Book Britain is on today at 5pm or 17-00 hrs. I have set to record.

Thank you Phil, but not sure how I get rid of my first one before I cut and paste. Hope I get this next attachment right. Map of Coleman Street Dated 1866 Did not mean it to be this big.

That would be lovely Lyn. Not sure what this attachment is, silly me. When I click to open it downloads it instead, Should be 1904 Kelly's list for Coleman Street, Weston's shop was around in the late 1940's but not that address. Coleman street, 219 Windsor street to 108 Henry street. MAP H 4...

Lyn, Am very short of material now so not sure when my next post will be. Take Care. Ernie.

LYN. Thank you for those kind comments.

Thanks Phil, I did not see all the changes as I only travelled to Mum's house in Lupin Street. Dek Carr I stand corrected, Hope you will forgive me.

KEV, I like it, well worth saving.

Hello Dek, Off the top of my head I had a feeling that Coleman Street or the part near Windsor Street changed to Kellet Road, Flats were built along Henry Street which covered the area that was that end of Coleman Street.

This may be at a slightly different angle to a previous photograph that was posted. Another from Carl Chinn's "Brummagem" Great Lister Street with Saint Matthews Church on the left.

Not seen this one before. From Carl Chinn's "Brummagem" The corner of Great Lister Street and Scholefield Street

Thank You Peter, will give it a try.

I used to be able to do this quite well but now I seem to be struggling. Where do I have to store my photographs on my computer to upload ? Hope this do's not seem daft. I have tried several times but am now beaten.

G G Jean. The sides of the bus or coach were shaped like the sides of a boat. No April Fool Prank.

Jean, I like the photographs, is there anyone who has one that is shaped like a boat ? Seen one in a museum once ( was it at Wythall ?) made of wood I believe.

Mike, I checked a 1904 Kelly's but cannot find Apollo Terrace.

Mike, Do you have the other part of the map you posted ? ( Post 47 ) I was looking for Coleman Street at that time.
