What year you talking about for John and Dianne. Did he work at the airport? Those are lovely houses, Patrick and Vera Rd.

I lived in 75 Patrick Road from 1975 until 1993 and I saw the attached pics on this site regarding bomb damage for Vera and Patrick road. One day I will pop back to look how it looks now. Not sure the information is correct

Some time ago a member of this forum discovered the history of my great grandfather, Thomas Brickell who was gassed in the first war. He was 46 and his son, also Thomas died aged 15. So sad. Now I want to find out why he went back in the army at his age and did he serve in the Boer war. How...

Pedrocut. we must have joined the same day, September 1964, college on Bristol Rd. Guy in charge was Lenny Hemmings. remember his saying first day that that was first and probably last day we would all meet, he was right. Somebody left that day. I believe intake was 250 that year, all men.

I was a Y3YC 1964 and enjoyed OH. Unfortunately GPO decided I should be in an exchange so we parted out ways in 1967.

Thats what I thought but wasnt sure if my memory was playing up. I watch the guys here installing internet and TV dishes and my thoughts go back to climbing poles in the 1960s working on overhead. Even in those days there were some H and S rules but here they just climb up walls and roofs.

Am i right in thinking Diss was used?

Correct Eric.

it is a Youths Three Year Course. The name given to apprentice telephone engineers at the GPO (now BT). Does anyone know what 81's are?

wasnt there a pub with same name?

Help please. could someone point out what roads are in the above pic? Which is Church rd, what is the intersecting road. thanks

Sorry, I was born in 1948, lived off Garretts Green lane. Where were the huts?

Isnt't the Internet a wonderful asset to our lives. I am sitting in Spain looking at pics of where I grew up and discussing them with somebody I have never met who is posting the pictures and helping me understand them.

Thanks oldmohawk but still doesnt ring a bell, I am getting on a bit. I really want to understand those photographs, bring back a bit of my childhood.

Help please. I grew up in this area, Garretts Green and attended Cockshut Hill. Knew Pool way but cant place Hadfield Rd or where these photographs show. Look at the top left hand corner shows what appears a graveyard?

I meet lots of Brummies over here and usually the discussion moves to pubs and clubs of town, Rum Runner always comes up.

Great times at the Rum, I ended up marrying a member of staff, but thats another story.

Astoness, thanks for that. I will have a look at streetview, be strange to see the big house that was used as an offlicence.

Great pics, I spent a lots of my childhood in Holt Road, my grandmother ran the of off licence there after leaving the Turks Head Bloomsbury St so I did explore the area a bit. I have looked for pictures of that road but had no luck.
