Had the Classic car accident call last year, I asked him which one? "How many you had" he asked , I said 3 " oh Please tell me" he said in a excited voice No, You tell me which one you called me about, a few seconds of silence , then the line went dead. Forgot to mention - I don't drive.

A Guy called Barry and his mate ran a record shop in Oasis market in the late 70s early 80s. They used to get Pic discs, 12", coloured vinyl in fact lots of rare stuff/ imports. Pretty fair prices too.

I can remember the Church Road shop, tho' not the name. Next door or slightly along was a Record shop 50p for Vinyl 7" 1973 and Around £2.99 for a album.Both shops long gone as has most of the road thanks to Tesco!

I remember the Big Top staff Caf, a young lady called Anne worked in there mid 70s

Hi Chris, Is the lady in the Pic called Patricia ? I also remember you were at Acocks Green Cinema/Warwick Bowl?

Thanks Localmike, Fantastic Info and a lot of memories coming back:)

I've never seen any Photos. In fact the only Photo's I've seen of the entire row between Forest and Waterloo Roads have been of Number 1315 Belmont and The Bulls Head Pub.

Thinking a little more about those houses, they probably came down before '72, because I was still at Redhill Junior School and left there in '72.

They were demolished 1972/75 ish, If memory serves the houses were becoming pretty run down, not sure who owned them. Numbers 1289 - 1301 were owned by Mitchell's & Butler's Brewery, and they survived until the 1980s ( around 1983 ish)

Bogarts - 50p for bottle of Newcastle Brown, Outrageous!!!

I used the Bull Ring Tavern quite a bit, it was run back then (90s) by Tony Murphy and his wife Maureen. Full of characters. Billy's Bar was run by Paul Henry's wife, just around the corner from the old DEP recording studio. Members of UB40 would visit from time to time and play pool. I believe...

Hi Just joined. Lived at 1299 ( Opposite Kathleen Road ) I can remember the houses between Belmont and 1301 which were demolished long before the road widening, creating the open grassland.
