Yet another brilliant meeting, I really enjoyed it. Thanks to you all who arranged it. Heather

Hi Arkrite, Could you send me the link to the wedding photos please. I think there is a girl called Tina Shaw on the school photo. Heather

Hi Arkrite, Sadly Halesowen girls shchool is no longer there, its a housing estate now. But I did manage to go to the very last opening before demolition. I did sit on the english teachers desk, something i would have never dared to in the 60's. Thanks for all the info. Heather

Went to see the Walker Brothers and supporting act The Pretty Things....... wow what a night

I loved the Plaza in Old Hill, spent many happy hours there. But Joy of Joy's there is talk of them possibly reopening it again and even getting some of the old bands back. I hope so, then I can relive some of my misspent youth and its within walking distance of our house

Hi Arkrite, Sorry I have not replied before, but have not been too well. I thank you for the links to Halesowen roots and Blackcountrygob, it was great to see a picture of St Margarets of Antioch Church, where I got married almost 40 years ago. I do wish that I could put names to faces on...

What a fantastic photo Arkrite, there are a lot of faces on there that look familiar, but I just cannot think of the names. They would be a couple of years older as I went to Halesowen County Modern Girls School in 1961.

Sorry cannot help on the Auctioneers, but it looks like a misspelling of victualler, wich could meen that wife Elizabeth was a licenced pub landlady

Great to read these stories, as a kid in the early 60's we used to play in the disused barracks the hop pickers lived in. This was in Eardiston not far from Frith Common by Tenbury Wells.

To many films to have just one favourite, but some of them are 633 Squadron, Dambusters, Quadrophenia, Psycho, The Full Monty and Mamma Mia. What a mixture !!

It's not CRAD-ER-LEY HEATH, its CRADE-LAY HEATH. Heather (Cradley heathen)

I have been interested to read these posts. The differences between a Birmingham accent and a Black Country one are quite striking. Maggie & I went to visit relatives in Wales, they could not understand a word we were saying. Maggie being Birmingham and me being Black Country. We are both...

Maggie, those guys from the Nashville Teens were ugly hansome, if you know what I mean. Forgot Roy Orbison, Spencer Davis group and Rockin Berries.

Not as old as me Sis. Elvis on the ceiling, Kinks, Beach Boys, John Lennon, Eric Burdon (Animals), Otis Redding and the Nashville Teens on the walls. Then I got Scarlet Fever and they all got burnt. sob sob

Hi Darby. Its the same, except yours is in better condition. Heather

In 1973, heavily pregnant I tried all the record stores in Birmingham to try to get Tres Hombres by ZZ Top, all I got was sore feet and an aching back. Oh well, I got it on CD years later

Hi Tom. It could well be a general term used for a wide variety of ailments, as it proves with Grandad. Now I have just had a look on the A3 size one I have got here and it says..hand written.....441148 Private Edward Sadler. Royal Army Medical Corps (T.F). printed... Served with honour and...

I will answer this one, Grandad was disabled in 1917 as you will see from his discharge paper above. The impairment was a nervous breakdown due to the fact that the R.A.M.C had taken over a french chalet to use as a sort of field hospital. There were so many casualties that a lot of these brave...

Jackie, you are most welcome. It was lovely to see them there, Grandad Ted would have been so proud. Heather

I was a Mod and the Who especially Roger Daltry were my idols.
