Thank you for posting up the aerial photo of the Lido site. Gosh how things change. I can see now - getting bearings from the direction of the road where this pool would have been located. All I remember was a very leafy lane with the entrance to the pool adjacent to this. Gosh, the Lido...

Re: Drinks at Cadburys Social Club What are your reactions to the most recent news of Cadbury's

Hello everyone. Fantastic memories here. Perhaps you may allow me to quote on my Lost Lidos Site? However this won't be for a while. I'm totally reconstructing it and it'll take me months and months and monthhhhhhhs. I'm so involved with other things -as everyone else is - my signatures...

Absolutly interesting . Thanks for all these posts. The lido is grassed over and possibly the area not recognised, but I can guess Sorry I haven't participated of late. Lots of thing to sort out. Not bad! But I'll be back Anne

Thank you. I'll endeavour to contribute more again!!!!

Those were the days. Quite recently I did a trip down memory lane around Tamworth. I dived competitions in Tamworth pool in 1957 and won my first Midland title!. Please see my utube video!!! excuse the slow narration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic5V1953Mik

Re: Another Picture of Sutton Park Lido I have received some wonderful info on Malvern Park Lido from Darren. These will placed on my "Lost Lidos" website. I'm giving the site a facelift, and I'll save for then. The info deserves to be placed on new and sparkling pages!. Thank you Darren

Hi All, Thank you for your wonderful picutes on Lost Lidos. I haven't posted much lately due to untold commitments and I like a quiet moment to enjoy Birmingham History. I enjoy reading the posts. I've also asked my sister in Adelaide to start contributing - she would really benefit from all...

Do you really think so? Wow!!!!! What you don't see anymore are those queues clammering to get a cool dip. Did the filtration units cope in those days I wonder? Those were the days Sorry to have been away so long

Yes, lovely aerial shot. I remember training there when the queues for Woodcock Street Baths were queing up all up the street and around the corner on hot summer days. My diving coach used to perch me on the back of his motorbike again and off we'd go to Bourneville. I associate this with...

On quick glance of these posts, has there been anything written about the News Cinema? High Street??????I think I mentioned it a while ago. When I was training, and it was a day of competition, my coach always used to take me there between training in the morning and the competitions during...

My sister and her gentleman friend accompanied us over to France. The first holiday we have all spent together. We had a great time. She is 8 years older than me and I suppose I've always been considered as the irritating little sister stemming from our very youinger years. However we have...

Yes Jean, I realised you were the little girl! Let me know about your swimming activities and we can compare notes. Anne

Hello, I haven't been on the forum for a while. I like the new "set up" but I inadvertently sent a reply to the lovely little girl at Sutton Park and pressed the report button!! I'm sending it again. There is a lot on the forum for me to catch up on. I was simply saying what a lovely picture!

I'm a Stokes I'm a Stokes but descended from those with West Bromwich background. However, they still could be related across the border. My Grandfather was William married to Annie. 11 children - the eldest being my father William Herbert who married Nellie Crofts. Family business at Lambert...

First Impressions What a good video. Thanks Cov kid. Sylvia, he looked very handsome here but admittedly first impressions are what stay with you. Anymore pointers to the dance days? Anne

Any More Pranks? Judging by the responses, you must have all been really very good!!!!!! Perhaps it was the possibility of detention if found out? and...what about those detentions:| from8)

Sunburn and Thank you Alf Lashings of :)Factor 35+ Anne

Mrs Tranter Still in Aussie. As I recall Mrs Tranter always wore a bracelet around her right ankle. Was she simply setting a trend?????????? Anne

I too remember the PAIN Just as most have described experiences, I can account for exactly the same. I delivery great empathy! In an attempt to remove one of my teeth for my "crowded" mouth, the one adjacent was half pulled out too. Couldn't close my mouth and had to return next day to...
