    Post #10, I was just about to say that this picture from post #3 was Geach Street and found you have already mapped it Mike. At first I was puzzled as when I was a lad this is where they garaged milk carts, although my memory may be off target a bit. Any way I agree with Geach St

    You are dead right Lyn. God Bless our boys above the Clarke's house, something like no 37. A terrific photo but I've never seen it before. The cleared area is the corner of Geach Street where the bombed pub was that we used to play in

    Summer Lane

    I remember all of those names. As far as I know the chapel is still there. When I went it was all wooden buildings. It was rebuilt properly in the mid to late 60s

    Lichfield Street, Birmingham

    The missing photos have all been posted in one form or another by other people, except this map. I have never found other photos of the street. My family lived at 45; their nearest pub was the Green Dragon

    Museum of Science and Industry Computer Playing Draughts

    Does anyone have a photo of the computer that played draughts with you, (and usually won) please? It was in the old Museum of Science and Industry in Newhall St in the 40s and 50s.

    Welsh Chapel Wheeler St

    I had a friend who lived in that yard. When I was at junior school. As I remember you went down that entry (passage) and there was a terrace of houses that ran on the left. Each had a small garden in front but were the usual back to back style; one room downstairs with a tiled or brick floor...
