Phil, thank you for the pictures of Nechells park pub, I can remember meeting Pat Roach the wrestler/actor in bar one lunch time break when I worked in Eliot st. I think he may have had something to do with the scrap yard next to the pub in cuckoo rd.
Well lets try and show the kids of today how life was then 1950's before PlayStation's and xbox's was even dreamed of, it me in the backyard making I don't know what but I seem to be miles away for I did not realize my dad was taking the photo at the time.
