Used to live across the road just down Broadfield Rd on Tamplin Terrace in the 70's. Used to gi in the Broadfield regularly just for the last call.

Sent you a Message. I have a few pictures of folk and functions in the 1950's and 60's, Even one of the Handsworth Factory being built. Worked there from 1959 to around 1972 (ish) Formal 6 year Apprenticeship, then Toolroom.

Knock knock, anyone still alive on this thread?

I remember them well. I lived on Moorsyde Crescent almost directly opposite the Ludlams 🙂

I remember Mike Ormiston. Manager of the big press shop

Vern and Wyn Hookway at the(Not) Original Grindstone in the 60's

Don't forget Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and the Everly Brothers, All in the 50's. Gaumont and City Hall

Lonnie Donnigan (sp) 1957/8 At the Empire.

Used to go in Rippon's regularly on a Saturday night with "the Lads" after we'd been out on the town. Used to dine in the back room. Chips, fishcake, mushy peas and gravy If I remember right Joe had kind of a latch eye, and it was rumored he used to be a bit of a wrestler. "Mrs Rippon" use to treat us like we were her kids.

Does anyone remember Joe playing at the Prince of Wales on Division Street 1967. The small room was upstairs and the place was so packed they opened the windows and crowds stood in the street (Westfield Terrace) with pint pots in hand listening to the show
