    February 2008 edition article on History of BHF site by MommaP

    I love my sub of this magazine, I've been getting it for a long time now. When I've read it, my Mom & Dad have it & I'm forever saying to them that they should write an article & send it in.......but do they?? Trying to get them to put down their thoughts & memories is like pulling...

    Tavern in the Town and The Mulberry Bush Pub Bombings

    Just reading this thread about the bombings certainly brings back the memories doesn't it........I've got goosebumps all over my arms now & feel quite shivery:(.

    Key Hill Cemetery

    Ta Wendy, I suppose I always think of the centre as New St & up to my favourite area the Town Hall, Colmore Row etc. Funnily enough I dont think I've ever walked to the Jewellery Quarter!! Will try & get there when I pop down (probably May or June).:)

    The 'Two Step' Cooksey Road, Small Heath

    Oooh yes, I remember that Michael, there were several incidents over the years where houses were robbed because someone would get into the lofts & get down into the houses one at a time!! I cant remember the number of my cousin's house but they were the Bennetts. Its funny how altho you clearly...

    The 'Two Step' Cooksey Road, Small Heath

    I dont suppose there's the faintest chance out there of anyone remembering this shop on Cooksey Road?? I knew it in the early 60's. It was up 'our end' (eg nearer the Golden Hillock Rd end rather than miles down the other end...if that makes any sense at all:D). If you walked down Cooksey Road...

    Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

    I've just re-read the whole of this thread & its brought back sooooooo many memories. I wasn't a great one for 'clubbing' (too strict a father & mother!) but I do remember many of the ones named here, Bloomers, Beer Keller etc (& the Custard House postie!!) & of course the Gary Owen Club which...

    Yardley cemetery

    Its so sad to read about this sort of mess in graveyards etc isn't it. I went thru to Yardley last year when we were down in Brum for a few days & my first impression (after not being for quite some time) was how clean it was looking!! All the gardens were looking well kept & the place looked...

    Saltley Grammar school

    Just found this thread on 'search'. There were loads of photos from Saltley Grammar on Genesreunited last time I looked. I was a pupil there '68 - 75' & then went back & taught there very briefly in 1980 for a term. Oh I loved that school, many many happy memories.:)
