Yeh, I remember the Shirley Temple, is it still there. Anyone remembr 'Mothers' in Erdington, and the music shop in Hurst Street. I think it was called Wasp. There was a massive painting of a Wasp on the wall, caused loads of complaints cos they said it would distract drivers and cause an accident.

And when Broad Street was a shopping area, then it went over to selling textiles and every other shop was Asian, selling clothes and household linen and stuff. Not a bar or club in sight.

Any Roy Harper at the town hall and most of Led Zep sitting in the audience and the banter back and forth between them and Roy on the stage.

I wish I could print off the whole of this thread and keep it for ever.
