    OLD AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

    This photograph came up in my FB feed, it's Jasper Carrot and Bev Bevan holding a photograph of Birmingham showing the building which was originally in the space behind them. It looks familiar but I can't just place where in the city centre it is, maybe just off Smallbrook Ringway - does anyone...

    Pop up Adverts 2025

    I've been out most of the day, it's still as bad, the adverts are at the top of the screen which makes it hard to use the search button etc. I have to click very quickly before the pop up appears! I've tried logging out and logging back in but it hasn't helped :confused:

    Built in the 60s I think, there is housing there now, no tall blocks.

    Perry Barr

    Yes, I think you're right about that. It would be interesting to know whereabouts the view he painted was.

    Union Street

    Hmm, not sure but I don't think so. There was also a branch in the Bull Ring and one on Smallbrook Ringway which was originally Lewis Separates, not sure if they became a Chelsea Girl. @Vivienne14 What do you think?

    Bread and Dripping

    I used to love pikelets, warm with butter on! I think the name is particularly a Midland thing, areas like the south east have always called them crumpets.

    Grand Union and Olton Mere

    Might be what is known as a stink pipe? There are the remains of a couple in the area of London I live in now.

    Broad Street

    Rushton Street doesn't meet Broad Street where The Victoria was now, the bottom area is all newer housing and flats.
