Hiya Dave my best buddy or so you told me you were. I remember quite a lot Paul,John,Stev, sorry I mean Dave. Sylvie Hitchens married Arnold Farmer, I seem to remember Julie was always there for my mom. I vaguely remember a lad that lived directly across the road from me strumming a guitar and...

Hi everyone. Wow, memories. I was born in No4 Hadland Rd in 1952. (No numbers 1&2?? the same as in Homestead Rd.) Great picture of Blakenhale school, baby class as we used to call it. All of the above comments have brought back great memories. Tuesday night pictures at the school, I seem to...

Hello David. From leaving school 1967 and upto my mid 20s I worked at the AMAC next to the Valor. If I'm correct there were not many houses opposite the valor so you was not far away from the shop (A little gold mine). I used to get off the No11 bus outside the shop and walk up Wood Lane. My...

Hello Malcolm. Regarding the pellet rifle incident, Roy Evans was shot in one eye through Arnold Farmer’s back gate. This was a total accident, both parties were not aware of each other being where they were or what they were doing. If the pellet had of been fired a split second earlier, Roy...

I believe that the Farmer's lived at No 11. From the top of the road on the odd numbers were No3 Nash, No5 Evans, No 7 Bic's, No9 Kirby's and I believe then the Farmer's, their block set back. I had stated that Roy Evans was shot in the eye in the Farmer's back garden but you are correct, it was...

Hi. I remember Roy Evans being shot in the eye in Arnold Farmer's back garden, I think mid 60s. Roy then had a glass eye. None of the Farmer family was at fault.

Hello Astoness. I've just looked at your photo of the meat market. I believe that the road running off to the left may be the side of the meat market that had carved bulls heads on the side of the building. Can you offer any information regarding these bulls head carvings (Carved in stone or...

Hi Peppers. Great to hear from someone that remembers the good old days in Sheldon. I remember going to the off licence to get my Dad some cigs, and also some women with pop bottles having them filled with beer for their husbands. Bar on the left, off licence in the middle and lounge on the...

Thank you Viv. It is nice to know that I can come back here for new info. 5star. PhilC

Sorry Dave. Yes that's me with the mop of hair that I still have but a different colour now, cus I'm worth it. Some 10 years after the photo was taken, I went to Cockshut Hill Boys School :p and enjoyed 4 years there. As always though, you don't know what you have until it's gone. Hey, has...

Coronation Day Celebrations 1953 #102

Hey Dave, you know we were talking about people not bothering and leaving it too late etc. Well, through BHF I have been chatting to devonjim, we grew up in the same street but didn't know each other. I think he lived next door to me, not really. He has put a couple of photographs of our street...

:confused:

OMG. May I just say sorry to you, John, Marcia, my parents, my wife and children. I am going to........ I mean start to.........em..........I will concentrate PhilC

Sorry Dave, I didn't mean anything dis-respectful. just my silly sense of humour that I will try and control.

No, it was this forum but due to the information, we used a private conversation. I still feel very sad today. PhilC.

Here’s hoping that you have not lost your brummagem sense of humour. You enjoy hearing about the past or reading about the past? When something rings a bell, it could be tinnitus. It is easy to get your own back on Marcia. When you get into bed together, quietly ask, “You going to sleep or...

I felt so many emotions just while reading your last message, envy probably the most. I just wish it were 11 am here :)

84 in June, wow. How many hours are you behind us :) If I know the date I'll start a thread. So, regarding the above, there was no Queens Park? Was the Church Yardley Old Church? Do you remember the blacksmiths? I've only seen photos about the blacksmith. Do you remember the Ring A Bells pub, I...
