A very familiar scene from our younger days for many of us. All that was needed was a trickle of water. This was in Kings Norton Park. Viv.

Here is a photograph of the Old Bell pub , at 5, The Green Kings Norton, also shown in the postcard on post 64. The landlord, James Fletcher can be seen above the entrance. He is listed there in directories in 1915 and 1921, but not 1913, and is on the electoral roll in 1922, but not in 1925
