Morturn. The other pub was The Acorn.

Here's a good picture that may help. You can see the co-op on the left by the gent on the bike. It looks like the same building that Lyn posted in post#1 and you can also see the Palace Cinema on the left just in front of truck. Chocks

Yes, the co-op has always been in the same place as it is today and the Palace Cinema which was the ABC Cinema was on the same side of the road a little further down toward the roebuck pub. The Wilton Cinema AKA Erdington Picture House was oposite the co-op .

The Palace Cinema was on the same side as the CO-OP just along the road toward the church. Wilton Cinema was opposite the CO-OP where Wilton Market now stands

Thanks for all the info Phil. Don't know why I don't remember it. Shame I missed out on the experience of the place. Chocks

I overheard someone talking about this market yesterday and until then I had never heard of it. I did a search this morning and I was pleased to see a thread covering the market. Is the building still there? What sort of market was it.. Was it a general "any type of stalls" market or did it...

Lyn. See post #20. Sorry.

Sorry Lyn. I've got to work. Chocks

Such a nice man. A sad loss to us all. Always pleasant company to be in. A very knowledgable man. RIP Bobby Chocks

Teddy Boy's soon got drafted into the forces for their spell of National Service and that soon brought them back to reality....didn't it?

Blimey Lyn, I haven't heard that since I was a little kid. I'd completely forgotten that little ditty 'till you jogged my memory.

Can't thank you enough for this pic Lyn. I've been trying for years to get a pic of the "Resa". Thanks

The Hangars to which you all refer remained after the housing estate was built because they were not sold off with the rest of the airfield. The airfield was, as we all know "RAF" but the hangars that remained belonged to the Royal Navy. Known as RNAY (Royal Naval Aircraft Yard) Castle Bromwich...

Many Thanks Colin. It all makes sense now. Chocks

This is a follow on from the thread called Park Lane I started a couple of days ago. A friend of mine at work has asked me for any information about "Ebanezers" but he was certain that it was in Nechells. After searching the Forum I gave him the News that "Ebanezers was in Park Lane Aston...

I did ask him that but he said no. He lived on Nechells Park Rd, But all he can remember was the name "Ebinezers" and that he used to go down Elliot St to get there so I now think it must have been Aston.

I guess my mate's memory is going Jean. Thanks to both you and Dek. Chocks

Yea thats what I thought Dek. A friend at work who lived in Nechells in the 50's ask me if I remember "Ebanezers" in Nechells but after a Forum search the only reference I can find is Park Lane and I wondered if there was one in Nechells..

Could someone please tell me where Park Lane Nechells was? or if it actually existed. Cheers Chocks

That may well be it Jim. Thanks Chocks
