Nappies left to bleach in the sun

Totally agree. Tell it like it is.

I just don't get it either. The one certainty we all have is that we'll die - obviously not me because when I heard you can't take it with you I decided not to go then !

Hi, just to let you know the original pub wasn't demolished! Believe it or not, they built the new one around us and kept the pub open! People think it moved across the road but they actually rerouted Park Lane and left The Shares isolated on the corner of what had been Park Lane & Potters Lane...

Happy memories of Dad taking my brother and me to this library in the late 1950s. He worked during the day and also took on bar work in the evenings when Mum stopped work to have us. He always read a bedtime story before he dashed off to work and always took us to the library on Saturday mornings.

Totally agree. I lived at The Cottage of Content on the corner of Norman St ( it was number 59) & Carlisle St from 1967 to 1973.

Just the name of Wrensons can make me smell the bacon and cheese in there. Our local one was High Street, Aston. 1950s

I remember going into Martins! It was a lovely old fashioned shop with those window-fronted drawers. I can remember Mum buying me a gorgeous fluffy, pale blue dressing gown there.

Hi, this is my photo, of me with my late mum Irene and a customer. We are standing outside the side of The Shareholders Arms at 25 Park Lane ( we are on Potter's Lane here). My mum and dad Arthur were licensees of The Shares then.

Spot on! You can see the gable end on the left of the original picture.

Hi, just found this thread as I stayed in a hotel overlooking Temple Passage at the weekend and took a very rainy photo from my room. It looks as if the building in the middle of the above photos is a separate entity from the Temperance Hall. It looks like an older building that has been...

Hi, just to say his name was Arthur Taylor!

Thanks for this - it's the clearest copy I have seen of the pic on the right so I can actually see my late Dad's name above the door. Really chuffed !

Hi, been a few years since this post! I have to say the Shareholders was NOT demolished at all. We were living there when dad, Arthur Taylor, was the manager and the brewery, Ansells, had the 'skin' of the new pub built around the old one! We had months of muck and dust to contend with and when...

Hi just put a reply about this on another thread here! Shareholders was NOT demolished and rebuilt across the road. They rerouted Park lane. The pub was rebuilt around us as we were living in it! My dad Arthur Taylor was licensee from 1957 to 1962 when we left for The Stork Inn.

Hi,obviously not been on here a while but if anyone's still a) awake at this time of night and b) interested : my dad Arthur Taylor was licensee of The Shareholders from 1957 to 1962 when we moved to The Stork Inn. The old pub wasn't demolished and rebuilt elsewhere at all! It was actually...

Skylark I found this image on another thread here. It was posted by Mossg so I hope he doesn't mind me reposting. Moira

So pleased to see this photo of The Bell Inn Phil! My late mum and dad used to walk out to the Bell for clandestine meetings in the late 1940s .......

Hello Folks! I lived in The Stork Inn from 1962 till 1967 and it was at number 217 High St Aston. High St ran from Six Ways Aston to Asylum Rd and then it became Newtown Row into town. The geography was blurred when the 1960s developers moved in. The pub at number 334 Newtown Row would have...
