Apologies if I am continuing this debate on too long. I must agree with with Radiorails in that having a clock at Monument Rd station and Icknield St (a matter of about three stops) is too close. The text on these two photos suggests that there are two clocks opposite each other on the Monument...

The book I have is this one Unfortunately, the photo is no clearer in the book. Also, this is a photo of the Volcano cafe which was on the other corner of Hingestion St. Incidently, when I first came to Birmingham in 1952, I lived in the flat above the valeting shop, next door to that cafe.

Hi Tuppenny Rice, here is the text to that photo which mentions Sydney.

Apologies Radiorails, I've just looked up the Inner circle book and you are right about the direction of the No8 bus and the Bundy clock on Monument Rd railway bridge. Do you know if there was a clock on the opposite side (anti clockwise).

Hi Radiorails, as you say, there was a Bundy clock on the anti clockwise route at the Monument Rd railway bridge, but that is the opposite way to the previous photos of the clockwise bus outside the cafe. Was there a Bundy clock on both sides of Monument Rd?

I can remember many times the bus stopping there for a few minutes. Because there is no Bundy clock on any photo I've seen at this location, I assume that they only stopped there to to have their billy can filled with tea.

Would just like to thank Warren for his efforts in resolving this problem.

I'm not the only one then. Even as I write this it's moved over to a smaller pop-up. I will try Ghostery but would be willing to pay a subscription to enjoy,ad free, one of my favourite Forums.

Starting today, I'm getting a random youtube video on this website and cannot delete it. It looks like it's by Humix (whoever they are). No matter what page or category I'm on, the video is there.

Like my posts before, this is a made up video image of the Shareholders pub in Park Lane in the 1960s. It is made up of various photos and a bit of imagination. Anyone who used the Shareholders then might find this interesting. Although we had our wedding reception there in 1967 I cannot...

Blimey! I reckon Tony was around 18yrs old back then and I looked up to him. I thought he was really cool ( remember Kookie in 77 Sunset Strip). I myself went to the Proof House many times. Unfortunately, Tony's Dad didn't like us as we were always messing about in that entry. Many a time he'd...

Thanks for your comments BOB1, I guess that explains the dereliction. I'm still wondering why that was the only house in the street with columns either side of the front door. Incidently, I don't know if the Woolaway family lived there in 1960 but, I too knew one of the sons. Before I left...

During the period 1959-61, our gang used to hang around my friends house at No175. I always wondered why No181 was derelict. It stood out from the rest of the houses because it had a posh front door with columns either side. You can see it on photo #613. Another odd thing was that No179 had...

Sorry about confusion, it was the new Shareholders where our wedding reception was held in Feb 1967.

Yes Lyn, the building that is there today was the Shareholders in 1967. Not sure when the original pub was demolished.

So very true Lyn. My home patch roughly covered Six Ways to Asylum Rd and Victoria Rd/Potters Hill through to Wheeler St. Apart from the Barton Arms, the Shareholders pub building (wedding reception in 1967), St Paul's church and my old Gower St school building on Lozells Rd, absolutely...
