Gone, but not forgotten.
Ok you lorry and van drivers, if you were anything like our lot then you knew every eating place in Brum. So where was this one. For information purposes the photo was taken in 1956.

I bet I ate in every one of them when I was on the road, what can I say NE of Birmingham and there would have been plenty of delivery vans pass by this place.

Thats south Birmingham, anyway I can only remember two cafes in Foremans Rd and that wasn't one of them.

Phil Deakon Avenue is in Witton not far from I.M.I.(as Was). I think The cafe Is just past Adderly Park Station past the old wheels site.

Sorry no, it will have to wait until tomorrow now as I'm off to bed.

Pete said he recognises it but can't place it. Have a good nights sleep Phil and don't let the bed bugs bite. Jean.

Well Done it's Doreens Cafe, Drews Lane Ward End.

Not a place that I ever used myself, and that in itself is unusual. Perhaps it had gone by the 60's.
