Love the picture of the Reliant van. I have had a few Reliants and still hold a great respect for them.

i did not take to much trouble over cutting out the van its a bit ruff  but it was meant to be a bit of fun  and the van looks blue to me but I can soon change that to any colour you like O0
each day is a blessing and I bless each day when it comes

Sorry, bit of topic here but If you like Reliant's, check out the Brum Motor Show 1972 price list, It's my photo/scan so it's a safe link, click on scan to zoom in.

Do you think we can bring this thread back on topic please? 

Here's a photo of the Tulip Express outside the Golden Lion (in much better condition than today) back in the 1960's to help you along.
Phil died in 2020. RIP.

Cant say I did , but I remember another thing about Cannon Hill park , crayfish in the river . Picked up an old wellington out of the river
I thought someone was giving me a round of applause but it was the crayfish getting a bit anxious being out of water, wasn't there some sort of museum there back in the late 50's early 60's ?

Scipio

The Natural History Museum had had annex at the rear entrance to the park by Pebble Mill by the paddling pool, it has now been utilised as an entrance to the Nature Centre. There is a photo of it earlier on this thread.
