Old Birmingham / Re: Kingstanding

Hawthorne Rd, Kingstanding - My mom put her free bus pass to good use when she lived on the Lyndhurst Estate, Erdington: Walsall, Lichfield, West Bromwich and sometimes closer to home: Hawthorne Rd, not sure why but that was a regular destination - I know it was easy to get to: she got the 28 junction Chester Rd and Sutton Rd (near the Yenton) and that took her straight there.  I remember Hawthorne Rd for another reason: past my driving test (1967) at the the nearby Driving Test Centre - life changed after that.

Peg.
P.S. Shortly after that got my first set of 4 wheels - Ford 100E Van - remember them? 3 gears, no synchro on 1st, rear door windows like Post Box slits, windscreen wipers that only worked when you were at a standstill - fantastic! - mine had one additional feature: bit of a lottery if the brakes worked properly or not. :-\

Old Birmingham / Re: Prince of Wales Lane, Yardley Wood

I used to work in Elbief in the 80's. The factory was at the Prince of Wales lane. The department I worked in was called Clock Bay. It was a nice place, FM radio music all the day was a lovely add on to work. Mrs Busby was Personnel department head. The next door cafe had a lovely breakfast.
Hello Johnkahn, welcome to the Forum. I did a few jobs Elbief as a pipe fitting contractor. I do remember the radio being on all day, in the days of Diddy David Hamilton. One thing that really stood out for me as someone passing through, were two older boys in the polishing shop. They stood at their polishing wheels all day, apart from break times. Over the years both of them had become haunch-back, due to their working positions.


The Cafe next next door, always good food and always busy. I seem to remember loads of Gas Fitters in there, not sure if they were changing the area over to Natural Gas at the time..

Birmingham Chat / Re: Psychiatric hospital anyone can sign in to?

I wouldnt have thought there is any hospital that you can walk into and get immediate attention be it psychiatric or otherwise. With you needing this sort of care , I would think its a little more in-depth say than a broken arm or somesuch . One name comes to mind All Saints in Winson Green maybe they may be of help to you

I am prone to suffering mental health crisis and need a psychiatric hospital which anyone can sign in to. Last time I had to wait hours at heartlands hospital AE, don't want that to happen again. For your information I am a patient at forward thinking birmingham.
