    For the better Richard. Family ancestors arrived here in Jonesborough in 1747 and my house is on land once owned by an ancestor. Guess you could say I came home.

    My mates and I were regulars at the Tavern and Mulberry Bush. We would start at the Tavern and have a last few at The Bush. That all ended when the IRA hit Birmingham. Nuff said on that!

    I remember going to that place to get the coach to Hunters...I hated and feared it. I remember everytime begging my mom everytime to let Catherine and I stay at home.

    I remember it being the 145. Just posted a photo of the 144 but I'm sure it was the same type of bus

    Mate Sooooo many memories! Christmas shopping in the old market hall...sitting on the big red bomb in there. Going to Henry's to see Father Christmas and Uncle Holly. Hot potatoes and chestnuts being sold in Corporation Street, the lights and the crowds. I remember the tramlines still running...

    Magnum Hotel Union Passage

    I worked at the Magnum first as a hallporter then night porter then banqueting porter in the mid to late 70s. It changed hands a number of time becoming the Center hotel then comfort. Anyone remember it? It was a department store (Grays I think) before it became a hotel.

    These are the only photographs I have of Hunters. Me at home for my birthday in my Hunters summer clothes. Mom and my sister in her Cropwood dress outside Hunters front gates and mom, Dad and Catherine on Hunters Hill with Cropwood in the background.
