Well at least it looks like the Moby Dick will still exist, better than demolishing it! Sue

Frothy there is a thread I started about the Woodman in the city centre, now demolished, with links to the other threads here https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=33014 Sue

Took me a while to work out which way you went Dave, not familiar with that side of town, know Boldmere as nan lived close to there. Thanks for the tour, Sue

Bill, I have found the same too, but if you look on FMP, the Benjamin Adams born in 1884, has the 2nd name of Charles, so would be likely to be your grandfather I would think. You can I tjink request the birth certificate stating that you only require it if the fathers details are correct on it...

Thats a good analogy Mike - I still don't like it where it is!!! Sue

Mike, so pleased to hear your mom is picking up, hope her recovery continues - slow but sure we used to say - and like you say to talk to her makes a world of difference. I looked at the plans for Curzon Street and it will be impressive if it goes ahead. Sue

Viennese whirls were a treat at my aunts when I was small, but moms are better!!And the proper pineapple creams - not the biscuit thin ones you get today - my mouth is watering!! Sue

Hi Telford girl, welcome to the forum. What info are you looking for on your family,you havea good lot of info, are you looking for addresses etc? Sue

Isn't Selco already there - I'm sure there were directions to it a few months ago! Sue

I don't like Star City either, find the general atmosphere oppressive there. Fond memories of the Showcase though, my friend dropped her box of maltesers during a film........................... Was ages before we went again lol. You could always come to Tamworth Terry! Sue

Bishopsmate, I will ask my aunty when I see her next week and my cousin, aunty still lives in Cleeve Road, she is 90 in a couple of weeks. Sue

Not seen this before, a few changes since it was filmed! Thanks for the link Carolina Sue

I can remember Frosts too Wendy, nan used to have her films developed there! Don't really remember the Parade before Gracechurch, but was only 7 when they started building it. Used to love the library and the market, but best of all, the chippy in a nissen hut type building on Queen Street -...

I'm surethey soon will be so Heartless can charge the nurses an arm and leg - and other body parts - to go to work!! Lovely pics though Bernie, all saved to show Dad later! Sue

Mickymoo my dad and brother would have visited your shop a few times then, we used to stop on our way back from visiting dads aunts on Station Road at Stechford. More recently - although thinking about it, 19 years ago!!- used to get pizza from the shop towards the Chelmsley end of the row of...

Thanks for the pics, my son is keen on becoming a fireman, albeit he wants to be a New York one - and he loves fire engine pics of ny sort. Sue

How funny, we were talking about Moseley Hall at work this week too, one of my colleagues remembers it as a childrens hospital, complete with the farm animals and produce, but by the time I trained, it was a geriatric rehabilitation hospital, lovely placement with all sorts of gardening and...

Am just watching the implication that the council may sell off some of the old buildings to fund the payouts for the wronged female council workers - as an aside , the Conservative man said there were also investments in businesses such as the NEC and airport - mmm, lets see, what will the...

I'd never really thought about how the trains crossed town from one side to the other, have found this fascinating! The brickwork is spectacular even more so when you think that there wouldn't have been any of the mechanical aids there are today. The long tunnel must be eerie, the one coming...

And Tamworth proves that again, I'm sure the town would get more visitors, when they have seen the Castle, if the planners had left all of its glorious old buildings instead of replacing them with concrete blocks!! You only have to look at Stratford, Liverpool, Chester etc. Sue
