Old street pics..

#2602 Construction of Hockley Flyover: I had a terrible embarrassing incident there at about the time the picture was taken. Having got off the #16 having dropped my wife to be off home in Handsworth Wood I got took short for a pee before catching the #8 to Ladywood. A convenient entry leading to those deralict buildings seemed my best chance of privacy. I got so far up there then realised I could still be seen from the road so took another couple of paces and fell down an open cellar. After several abortive attempts I managed to crawl out but not before I'd ripped a hole in the knee of my suit trousers, which cost a fortune to have invisibly mended. These days I wonder why I put myself through all that trouble, pain and expense when I see people peeing all over the streets in full view of passersby. :culpability:

There's some smashing ones here of my neck of the woods, anyone know what Corys was on the Coventry Road near Yew Tree Lane. Looks like a garage and there's a petrol garage at that location now. Pleased to inform that some of the other locations in Yardley village haven't changed at all. I can see the Church tower from my window now..:encouragement:

Thats fine because the notice came into my junk folder and I had to unblock it and I wondered if someone had hacked your email.
 
Hi Carolina I have had a lot of problems myself with junk over the last three weeks so I scanned my computer just in case all ok
 
Thank you for #2636 Bernie, lovely picture! My Gt. Gt. Grandparents lived there at 82 Digbeth until 1899. It was a printers shop.(Yapp) It's a clothing warehouse now I think.
