    Cockshut Hill Secondary Modern Boys' School

    I didn't attend the school, but I played Rugby against them several times in the early 70s for Perry Common. I always remember the games to have been very hard fought and close between us. CH had two brothers with silver hair (I think, it's been a long time ;) ) They were big lads and one of...

    RIP OZZY OSBOURNE

    I've been watching bits of "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" and Ozzy's son Jack comes over as a chip off the old block, as well as a credit to his parents.

    National Trust Back to Back houses Inge Street & Hurst Street

    I watched BBC local news last month and noted that the back to backs are to play a big part in a collaboration between the National Trust and BCU. The current exhibition seems to use the space in a way that it hasn't been utilised before (see first two links below) and this and an earlier...

    secret passageways tours

    Here's a link to something similar that they did 11 years ago. Like Lyn, I'm no longer quite agile enough to attempt the new tour myself, but it does sound a decent way to spend a couple of hours or so, for those members that are...
