    Came across these postcards yesterday and although I have no interest in churches myself I felt sure some of you would be glad to see them.

    Salford Park Photos Please

    It was one of the lakes in Kingsbury Water Park Dek, I used to go and watch it on a Sunday Morning up until about two years ago but that has now stopped due to the growth of the poison algae on the lakes. I used to watch it a lot at Salford Park and I agree with Templer. The anglers had a lot to...

    Stirchley baths and libary ;

    Can't answer any of your questions mate but I drove down there yesterday and noticed the old baths. I thought to myself what a shame that such a lovely building is being left to fall apart like that.

    Uniforms of WW1

    I've looked through hundreds of badges this morning and can't find a match. I still think Light Infantry or Rifle Regiment but it could also be a Pals Battallion badge. One I've noticed could be the early Royal Regiment of Wales badge and the scroll could possibly denote which Pals Bat' he was...

    Uniforms of WW1

    I would say it's a horn too, which means it's light infantry or rifle regiment but as said, needs a higher resolution to help.

    Old street pics..

    Definately Shaftmoor Lane Dek and Lyn. The buildings are still there right by the junction of Oulton Blvd. They have hardly changed at all. Just noticed that there is a cafe there called Boulevard Cafe which I didn't notice before but it confirms what I said above.

    war horse

    I guess it's not easy to write something original about a horse, but it's still a good film and it does show us the horrors that animals had to endure during wars. Let's hope the lessons we've learnt from WW1 stay with us.....

    war horse

    Saw the film last night. It's brilliant but a few weeks ago I watched a film with Sean Bean in called "Black Beauty" based on the original book. Not one of these glossy tales that were made into TV series or embelished for Holywood. It seems to me that the story is the same accept War Horse goes...

    Clifton Cinema, Great Barr

    I drove passed the Cinema several times yesterday blissfully unaware that a fire had occured and although I didn't know about the fire till just now, by looking at it from the front you really wouldn't know. Or at least, I didn't notice any difference.
