Hi, Horntons had another shop opposite the one on the corner of Lower Temple St. It was in Navigation Street right next to the Railway Bridge. I think that was the original shop, and the Lower Temple St one followed, but I can't remember if they were both in use at the same time. But I...

Hi Lyn I wonder if you are thinking of Coleshill Hall Hospital which was located at the Hunting lodge near Gilson, and was accessed by a side road on the left of the Birmingham Road a short way before you got to the A446 opposite the old Coleshill Police Station.. A lot of people I knew...

Hi, As a lad, I used to put the cat down the bed for half an hour before I went to bed. She didn't seem to mind that at all ! When I got into bed, I would take the cat out, and put her on top of the bedclothes. Very toasty. Kind regards Dave

Hi Maurice, I thought it was yummy and used to drink it from the bottle, - it was for my little sister, not me really! But they used to do Cod Liver Oil in the same bottles, and I loved that too. We used to get it from the Welfare in Treaford Lane Ward End. Kind regards Dave

Hi, Anybody remember Steve Conway singing 'At the end of the day' at the daily closedown of 208 Radio Luxembourg. Have a listen to it on Youtube, It didn't half bring the memories flooding back. Stay safe Kind regards Dave

Hi Viv, That's made me very sad seeing that video. I spent a lot of time in there in the early 60's, and it was a wonderful place to spend a lunch hour, as I only worked just up the street. I also knew the curator at that time, Mr Norman W. Bertenshaw, who used to visit our office. Kind...

Hi Mike Yes it was the only 2-8-8-2 ever used in the UK as far as I know. I saw it at Bordesley in 1955. Originally built as a banker for Wath Bank (Yorkshire?) Kind regards Dave
