Re: kingstanding re get together
Dennis you pay my fare and I will be there and I could bring a few ex kingstandingites with me, we could go on a pub crawl to Sutton Coldfield starting at the Crossway's {M and B} then the College Arms {Ansell's} and thats how it used to go all the way into Sutton M and B Ansell's Now its more like McDonald's and Balti. Then we could finish with curry and chips. Those were the days. Does anybody remember Ruby Stanier who worked at Marriott's the Chemist, she married my brother Stan Sellars Moss South Australia

lynn the anniversary for miles pet shop is going to be a fun day at the shop on saturday 3rd october
Hi Folks
Hope I don't cause any confusion,and perhaps someone can put me right.I remember the pet shop at the top of Hawthorn Rd.and am pretty sure the son of the owner / manager was at Cranbourne Rd.School with me in 1940s.Just below pet shop was Jones's furniture shop but I can't remember any Co-Op shops or funeral place in that area.There was several Co-Op shops further down Hawthorn Rd.on left hand side.
Is the public library still at bottom of Hawthorn Rd.Can still recall the distinct smell of the place,given off by the thousands of bound books (as they were at the time).Also remember the charred section of the oak strip floor caused by incendiary going through roof.
