Phil. What wonderful photos, would you mind if I printed them off for my own old brum photo album. I remember the old dares brewery as I was brought up in Sherbourne road, I passed it many a time and remember the wonderful smells that came from it when they were brewing their beer.
Blueblizzard . Thank you for your information, I would imagine that most of their trade in the summer came from holiday makers on barges. I can also imagine that the old lane is now a road with a housing estate on either side of it.
Frederick. Thank you also for your input. I have a feeling that after reading some of your comments on other threads that we went to Dennis road school at the same time as each other, and may well have been in the same class at some time. Frank.
