What a horror story...makes the Gullet seem positively sanitary. What was the council doing in allowing it to exist at all....let alone even after the rest of the street was demolished. To think that we are talking about times up to the 1980s not 18...jeesh.

No, not soccer. What has happened to modern TV and films and books over the years. Crudeness and gore seems to be all that is available in TV crime stories anyway. Murder and rape and horrid stuff is all that is offered it seems. Crime does not have to be thussly so....does it? Heck, there have...

A30 and A30/35 van/traveler.

They are all wonderful but the subject picture is special. Looks like Sam is asking if you are serious about this. The walk that is; before he goes any further.

Here's a photo of that Particular aeroplane, taxiing after a display this year in Ottawa.

You might be able to identify some of the foundations and walls on the 1890 Survey Map ref/ https://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55193&sheetid=10098&ox=325&oy=1618&zm=1&czm=1&x=18&y=30

The demo site of the Waterloo Bar (post#3337) is also the exact location of Birminghams Panerama building which can be seen on Samuel Lines painting from the top of St Phillips. A first class article about The Panerama, by a forum member, is here somewhere.

That's a super photograph of Dale End and many on here would find it instantly recognisable. I don't think it changed much at all up until the sixties and I am sure I would have passed most of those buildings on the tram. I think the road must have been wider there to allow for the Welch...

Yeah. I thought that the Morris Marina was not a bad little car. Traditional north south arrangement of drive line...which the transverse engine was supposed to spell the death nell of. I suppose it did more or less eventually but at that point seemed to have hit a bit of a bump...hence the...

The corner Pub in the the Gullet picture #942 has the smallest and narrowest urinal on the side that I have ever seen.

Maybe, import your photo's into Paint and just save as a jpeg file, brummie...then re-post the jpeg photo. When you save as a jpeg it will ask if you want to overwrite the existing file of the same name. Say yes if you don't want the original format which won't post.

Yeah, I seem to remember the Market Hall floor being concrete but things change. The picture of the Bull Ring is very fine and from that location shows the area well and as stated the incline. I think that you can just see the tops of some of the buildings on New Street.

I have a hard time associating the word 'grand' with this building. Even with the roof still intact it seems monstrous to me from any angle and we only knew it as a ruin. That being said it was familiar to us as a land mark and anchor of our lives and so hard to forget. We never seem to notice...

These photo's were on here before but have not seen them lately. Anyway one shows the plaque but am not able to determine which corner house it is. One picture shows the opposite side of Coleshill St. or whatever it is. I think the plaque must be on the east corner of Princess St., that seems to...

How old is that photograph Phil. It looks like no tramlines and overhead and yet the area looks old enough for them to have still been there. Good to have that one.

I wonder what conclusions can be drawn about us when we rave about a Rag Market that purveyed used clothing and a Market Hall that would only ever have been bombed out without a roof, to all on here; prior to it's final demolition. Both buildings have been gone 'for ever' now and open air stalls...

I have more of a Huricane being reconstructed for flight and Motion with sound but the latter will not post for some reason...maybe too large. Anyway time for my flight home...hand crank undercarriage with curved rear elevator. Five hour flight.

The cockpit of a Blenheim/Bolingbroke and navigators quarters...must have needed small recruits. State of the art, I am told, at the start of the war. Those sentiments did not last long.

The P51. Probably better known as the Mustang. Not a game changer perhaps but when the game did change it could fly all of the way to Germany and back; with it's drop tanks and large fuel tank below the pilot. Protecting the bombers. Laminar flow wings and modern air frame structure...oh and a...

Flypast. From bottom...Spitfire, Corsair, Lanc., P51, Kittyhawk.
