Hi Mo. No it isn't that one because Dave was from The Bushbury area of Wolverhampton (most of my Dad's relatives were and still are!). My Dad's Cousin said to look for names of coach companies from Wolverhampton in the 1940's so I will have to do that! :rolleyes:

Okey doke! :)

That's the one Phil cheers! I remember now, I always thought it looked a bit similar, don't know why?! lol

Thanks Len. :) Lloyd I have e-mailed her to ask. I will let you know anything when I find it out! :)

Oh right! I didn't mean it looked exactly the same but I thought there was a concrete thing similar, I am mistaken! Maybe I thought the lady looked like it?! lol

I always thought there was a statue of "The Thinker" there or am I thinking of somewhere else?!

I have just found out from my Dad's Cousin in Canada that Dad's Grandad's Brother, Dave Wilkes, used to run a coach company called Greyhound. As far as I know he lived in Wolverhampton. Dave had Brother's named Sam (known as "Shocker", my Dad's Grandad) "Winky", Isiah and Tom. :) Did anyone...

Yeah I think Dad mentioned that once, cheers. Welcome Ronald and great story!

Lovely cards Cadeau and a wonderful story.

Here is another postcard sent to my Great Grandmother from my Grandmother in 1939.

You rascal you! lol

Alas Phil and Barry I was only 4 and a bit when we left so I wasn't allowed in the Railway Club! lol Lovely to hear your memories!

Di you are an angel, thank you whole heartily. :)

Cool Wally. It would ne nice to have times like that again. As my Mom always says, "Hard times but happy times!" Have a look here Wally, it might bring back some memories! https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17302&highlight=dollman+street

Cheers Doug. :)

I know of The Railway Club because Dad played Darts for them and Duddeston Manor because my Sisters went there. Personally I remember The Train Park, that's it really?

Thank you Jenny, I will have a look at that. It sounds good. There is a lot about Sutton Coldfield I am not aware of! :)

Hi Ness, I don't know any more as yet! :)

Hi Ness, That's what I thought too! :)

Of course not Doug, I hope I didn't sound like I was being clever. It wasn't my intention. I appreciate everyone's help on the forum, regardless if I know some of it or not. I don't know that much anyway and what I do I bloody forget! lol :)
