Birmingham on Sea

Not sure if this will work, this is a panoramic picture I made from 7 photos.
On the right they're finishing off the demolishion of Sands nightclub, on the left is the sea (not very often you see it!).
 
Hi All!,At one time having been a resident of Exmouth south Devon,a small snippet of infomation 'Brum' and the seaside, the Exmouth lifeboat a Solent class boat was called the City of Birmingham and was in operation during the 1970's untill 1983.why the City of Birmingham because it was bought and paid for by the good people of Brum.Aye JR

Having tavelled around the World and lived in many places I still consider myself a Brummie from Aston.
 
Have seen the City of Birmingham many times as we had our annual family holiday in what was then Sandy Bay, now the over commercialised Devon Cliffs - as soon as I master Coppermine, will post some pics of Sany Bay in the 50s and 60s. Loved that place, but not the same now :((

May have been done before, but anyone remember the bumper/dodgem boats on the pier at Llandudno? Went back a few years ago and took some old photos, and my wife and I visted the places where the photos were taken, amongst them the drinking fountain at Happy Valley, West Shore, the bandstand, and the hotel opposite which used to be called The Commodore (Think it's St Kilda now). I was truly amazed how little these places had changed. The trip brought make some very fond memories

Smashing photo brings back memories. I still love to visit Llandudno as you say little has changed. I always go and visit the ancestors as well at the little white church on the Great Ormes_Churchyard.jpg.
 
The drinking fountain on the east side of the Gret Orme. Have a photo in 1955 and another in 2005 with me drinking out of it. Still the same, except it was a bit rustier in 2005.
