I moved to Shard End in Feb. 1958 and the Bailey Bridge was there then, I know because we used to play on it. I guess it would have been built early to mid 50's when the construction of S.E. was really under way. Before then Packington Avenue was known as Popit Lane and the River Cole was...

Mikejee your picture shows All Saints School in the middle next to that post, you also have All Saints Rd on the extreme right. I have attached a copy off google earth showing All Saints school circled red and where I think you was standing when you took the picture, circled blue.

In this picture looking up Pitsford St, you have Icknield St going under the bridge and Carolinas photo is of the building that is behind the car parked on the right. (the 2 storey building). Hope this helps. This photo was taken from the corner of Warstone Lane cemetery, you can just about see...

I have a 1tb SSd hybrid drive on my desktop, partitioned into 2 drives. I watched my son fit it and he turned my old drive into a spare drive partitioned. It did'nt seem that difficult to do either. All in all I have 9 drives on the go. One drive has the system installed on it, so that one is...

Hi Paul, I also lived in Fremantle at No 31. We moved there 1958 and I left in 1969 when I got married although my parents lived there almost up until they were demolished. I was a regular in the Two Hands around that time and I remember Larry and his wife. I don't recognise your dads name...

This should tell you all you need to know. Apparently it all kicks off in July and you can cancel your reservation if you wish. But, its free, so why not. I am just waiting for the same thing on my laptop. Alan, as I understand, it will be downloaded but not installed, you install it at your...

Well, I have now reserved it, Lets see what happens.

I now have the option of reserving Windows 10. Its a free download for the next 12 months to win 7/win 8 users. Has anyone tried it out yet? Whilst I am happy with win 7, I am one of those people who like to try things out, plus eventually we will all probably have to upgrade anyway.

Heres a pic of Queens rd, thanks to chocks.

Thank you everyone, they are all a lot better than the original, I shall keep a copy of them all. Lyn, The two on the right are my sons and the one on the left is my step son.

Could someone darken this pic please, I would have done it using Paint.net but for some reason it wont start up for me.

There were a few 'Trees' it seems in the area. The Trees Queslett Rd, and The Trees Castle Vale and The Trees Wheelers Lane.

We had a good time Lyn, Thanks for all your efforts. Shame about mikejee, Hope he gets everything sorted out. Terry

Hello Eddie, I don't know anything about Dennis Detheridge I'm afraid, but I did a quick search on google and came up with these two items. https://www.zoominfo.com/p/Dennis-Detheridge/370389938 and https://www.birminghammusicarchive.com/midland-beat/ .. Perhaps if you contact BMA they may be...

I take it you mean the old wooden bridge, I would love to see one myself, the times I have driven over it (on purpose may I add, loved the racket it made)

Little Park Rd was I believe the unofficial name, given by the locals, likewise the Flat was an unofficial name for the row of shops at the bottom of Lodge Rd. For prs777 heres a pic of the Welcome.

I agree with mikejee re picture post 4. The pic was taken from Bull St/Corporation St.
