I was thinking about what I missed about the old Brum and was wondering what other people were sad that we have lost.
For me (at the moment before I think of any others) these are some of the things I miss.
For me (at the moment before I think of any others) these are some of the things I miss.
- The noise of the starlings and their incredible acrobatic flying displays every night. The sound and sight of them will remain with me forever.
- The man who sold baked potatoes and hot chestnuts on the corner of New Street and the way in to New Street Station. I have never tasted better.
- The feeling of safety walking the strrets of Birmingham at night. I wouldn't even venture near Broad Street nowadays.
- The news reel display. Where was it? Times Square?
- The live bands at the Odeon.
- Father Christmas and Uncle Holly at Lewis's - He was 'the real' Father Christmas
