Spent a lot of my formative years in Central! My dad was a fireman and most of our socialising was done either in the North West or Officers Club.
Great photos - bought many happy memories!
I have also signed the petition - it would make a perfect museum.
Thanks everyone!
 
Hi seeing thouse photo,s makes me want to do something to stop them touching this building. why cant it be kept and become part of museum . for birmingham history. I really think as brummies we should lobby against them taking what is left of special old buildings.
I can imagine the university needs the land .

WE REALLY MUST STOP THE ROT IN BRUM AND KEEP THIS AND OTHER SPECIAL BUILDINGS.
 
hi all...i have just looked at the list of how many have signed the petition to save the firestation...only 23 so far...we need more than this if we are to be listened to...just click on the link on the above post..every signature counts...

I Have just signed this, my Dad was a fireman at central for most of his 33 year sevice. I remember the childrens Christmas parties in the room over the engine house.
 
thanks all for signing the petition...too many of our historical buildings have been lost to the bulldozers already and if we dont make our feelings and voices heard the fire station could well go the same way:cry: just to remind you that the link for the petition is on post 96...

cheers

hi all
I remember going with my school to the big fire station in Aston, I think it might be the one in the photo's about 1960, shame to let so much become so derelict
regards

We must keep this thread open and get more signatures or we will loose all our buildings of interest in birmingham.
Please go to petition and sign to save this building.

As I've mentioned before, I signed the petition when I saw the link in post #96. Still no email received and my name is not there. I'll try again tomorrow with my other email address.
