For Christmas,I was given Peaky Blinders by Carl China, having finished it and enjoyed it rather than sending it to the local charity shop as normal if a member would like it please message me

Bob, a very nice gesture offering the book to any member. I read quite a few books and when I have read them I donate them to my local Library who are more than glad of them. A much better option than the charity shop.

That is a new one, donating them to the local library, I will find out if our local libraries take finished with books. We used the charity shop as they were always begging for them, although in the case of Peaky Blinders, neither local library or charity shop in North Devon would find them interesting I would think.

They might do, I borrowed the book on Birmingham Gangs from my local library in London so they must have thought it would have had a general appeal to have got it in stock.

Bob, with the interest in the series of Peaky Blinders not being just in the Birmingham area but quite International, I'm quite sure they would be grateful for your donation.

I went into the Bulls Head last June one evening. Had not realised it being a stand-in for the Garrison ,though it was very PB orientated. It was only just after resrictions were eased, but virtually no one in there and was told it was closing early (at 9.00pm if I remember right) although it was a friday night
 
Hi Pete,

So did I in the late 60's. I lived not far away in Tilton Road at the time.

It was a very friendly pub then.

Kind regards
Dave
