Such happy memories, of that great place, dad took me as a child, and the engine was a green monster , lots of shining brass and copper, and great hiss's of steam. The driver said I could stand on the foot plate, dad lifted me up, the heat from the fire which was glowing, all around the cab, I remember every detail, though very young, frightened, but awe struck, at the same time, I must been about 5 or 6. !! Funny how some memories last!!

A 'Battle for Fuel show coach' at Snow Hill in 1943. I've seen another 'show coach' from, I think, the war years, but can't remember what it was displaying.

There are some great shots of Snow Hill Station in an episode of the Gangesters - a great 1970s crime series set in Birmingham, now out on DVD

I think there was a real shoot out between a Birmingham criminal gang and the Kray brothers gang from London around Snow Hill.

I've seen a program where a man named as Eddie Fewtrell, was the center of the dispute,
