hi lynn
i know i have seen this before in my heart and soul
and for some reason i keep teling my self it was in mr
bills landon,s shop many ,many years ago at spring hill by the traffic lights facing bulpitts
this was in the very early 1950.s i went with my father
to bills shop ,it was a very narrow shop
and it was full of alsorts of plumbing and fittings
and it was choc block, as you walked in the narrow door
at the front of the shop walking in
on his side of the counter there was some steps going
up onto a floor it was high level
it was as if it was in he middle of the floor
and i thought to myself at the time .thats a funny place to stick a fire place and i seen stickers just like that across the top of the fire place and seeing a map along side it
and coming from aston .i had never seen a fire like that
cylinder type until later on in my life
and i did say to my self at the time stareing up at that fire whilstdad was asking for some connections
i thought oh yes that they must be deliver notes or somthink of that orgin
but in the same token i cannot help thinking years ago
when the demo of spring hill started that fire place was shown some where in a paper some where else on another topic
regarding bills shop
any way ,as i have previously said i will pop into
the little bath room shop which states
bill landons baths as named the owner and asked
them which part generation are they to bill
and asked if they recall is first shop from years ago
i did get to know one of bills son -inlaws
when he moved into the crown picture house
in lady wood is son -inlaw was a bouncer at my pub
in acocks green the red lion many many years ago
but rest asured i will get the low down where it came from as i have said there was an article on this in ome of the news papers years ago it could have been the birmingham post before the b,ham mail came out or the birmingham despatch paper
when they down sided the news papers
have a nice day lyn and many thanks for your birth day wishes
the other day best wishes astonian ;;;;
