Yes it does need sorting out...as I did report it.. and again I say Tindal St is in Balsall heath.... GREAT TINDAL STREET is in LADYWOOD.. and I remember replying to a post trying to tell them those exact words.... many thanks if it could be sorted out..

sorry Phil that should have said it was better known as THE HORSE FALLS.. not meant to say Ladywood.. blame me for not checking predict texts...

Hi Maurice..just seen your post and I can tell you this much..my address in 1953 till it was demolished in 63 was..... 2back of 121.BRIGHTON BUILDINGS.. so I'm thinking the even numbers were on the other side of the street where the ADVANCE factory was..

Ken... I have just seen your post..and at last someone who really knew Great Tindal Street.. you are absolutely correct...I lived in Great Tindal St over the road from the Advance factory . And to this day I'm still telling people that either way it ran from off the monument rd all the way down...

Yes you are quite right about the hole in the wall pub.. in later times it became Sarah Moons.. then a friend of mine had it and called it The Confession Box... Now it's called PEAKY BLINDERS..
