The Fox seems to be a popular name, theres also this one in Lower Essex St.

Some photos of Chelmsley shopping centre I took a few years back.

For every one that leaves us, there are a million memories that will no longer be shared. My condolences to your family. Dek, may you Rest in Peace. Terry

No, all the pictures are of the Castle cinema, Castle Bromwich. Post #1 starts off by asking for pictures of the castle bromwich one, also see post #20.

I see most of the pictures have gone. I think these are the only ones I have. The first one is where it is being demolished, early 60's.

Thanks for looking John, I have got a copy of the newspaper report but I copied and pasted it here thinking it might show up better. Like I said earlier John was in prison during the 1901 census and William was living at home with his wife so obviously John got sent down for how long, I don't...

Thank you all for your efforts, at least the article by mikejee is something new to me. I will have to have a look at the newspaper archives.

The following text (below) is from the Birmingham Daily Post of the 5th Sept 1900. It concerns John and William Clinton who are the brothers of my Grandfather. The reason I am posting this is that I don’t know the outcome of any future court appearances, i:e fines, sentence, etc. What I do know...

Nico Was it this type?

To be honest Bernard, I found Saga seem to be more expensive in everything, i:e car / home insurance, holidays. and they are supposed to cater for the elderly. Do they think pensioners are the new wealthy elite, some may be, but I am certainly not.

I have just used Moneysupermarket and they came back with a quote £14 less than my previous cheapest. The odd thing is, its the same insurance company.

Lyn,looking at the first picture of Frankfort St post 124 took me back a bit. It could just well have been Whitmore St looking up to Park Rd with the cafe on the corner and our entry right opposite, even down to the lampost. Uncanny. Terry

Like you Stephen I usually change each year but last year I changed my car and for convenience I stayed with them. I've used the confused and compare comparison sites, but I'll try the two you mentioned and see if something else comes up. I have also tried the well known sites like Saga, the AA...

Well, its that time of the year where my car insurance is up for renewal. Had an email from my insurers to tell me what my renewal price is provided my details have remained the same. Well the only thing to differ from last year is that I have gone from being employed to retired, so I duly...

The Abbey, my dads local.

The last picture shows the way I used to walk to school everyday, and those kids climbing the wall was the type of thing I used to do, probably the same wall.

We both went to All Saints school in the 50's and we both walked that way to school every day, I don't remember a pub and he reckons there has'nt been a pub there as long as he has lived there and thats all his life. If its a 1889 map then there could well have been a pub. I can only remember...

Lyn, I showed my friend the map you posted, he thinks something does'nt quite look right. How old is that map?

I'm asking questions on facebook Lyn, I have a friend who has lived in that area all his life. Terry

I used to walk up that rd every day on my way to school but I can't remember a pub.
