One of the forum members, Val, has kindly sent me, from the States, some old transparencies he took in Sept 1986 while on a return visit to Birmingham in order that I could scann and post them. Some had faded significantly, but I have tried to restore them as much as my can . The first ones are of murals. Unfortunatley they are the most faded, and so the restoration has probably got some of the colours a bit off. The size limitations on photos on the forum also make it difficult to give as good a resolution as was on the originals . The first few are here and on the next few posts
