Stitcher & Aiden Thank you both, I did see a 'Bet Lynch' coat in Merry Hill yesterday, not sure wether to wear it, pat it or give it a saucer of milk

Not very sure that I would like to wear those underclothes, but I do love the red dress (top right) but sadly, too old, too short and now too fat

Stitcher, You have got me 'scratching' my head thinkng about when the nit nurse first went into schools

Hi Stitcher, I remember Derbac, but do you know when the 'Nit Nurse' first appeared in schools?

Mom & Dad got married the 19th December 1942 at Holy Trinity then had the reception at the Red Cow. How I wish they were alive now to see the 'new red cow' on the video, they would have howled with laughter Thanks for that

I lived in Clifton Road, Nan & Grandad lived in Beechfield road, by the Cats Park in Uplands. I was christened in the Old Church and went with my pennies to Mr Panters sweet shop and Mary Price's greengrocers. I used to spend may happy hours, sat on a bench in (Robbo's) garage in Beechfield...

This has been a great thread. Reminds me of my Granny putting Wintergreen and goose grease on me. My other Grandad using Iodine on my mouth ulcers ( poison !) and honey for a sore throat. Dad shoving a tablespoon of cod liver oil down my throat every day, including just before we got in my...

Great to see the photo Bill. I learnt to drive in one the same colour in Jan 67

Hi Jean, It's crooked because of the Glynne family mining on their land, which joined the Earl of Dudley's land. So due to the mine workings, over the years caused it to subside. I believe that during the 2002 earthquake the pub shook terribly, but it didn't cause any damage. So it must be...

Approx 7 miles. If my memory serves me well

The Crooked house, or the Glynne Arms is a great pub. Just on the other side of the Himley Road, to Brick Kiln Lane where the epicentre of the earthquake in 2002 was.
