This is a sign I noticed in a junk shop as I walked by, it is from
Brooklands - the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907.
I wondered if it was an official sign or one that an enthusiast had made themselves, also how it ended up
 in a shop in Birmingham.

Boldmere Rd, New Charity Shop Opens.

Sunday, 25 January 2009


Walsall Hospice opens a new Charity Shop on 27 January.
Boldmere has a new charity shop, shoppers are a bit confused by the Walsall connection, but a good cause is always welcome. There is already an Acorns and Settlement here, and another I can't recall the name of.

Erdingtons Worse Post Office To Close 3rd Oct 2008

The Post Office on Gravelly Lane is due to close on the 3rd October 2008. All I can say is that the service here has been the worst I have ever known, slow, talking on the phone while serving, trying to serve two people at once and ending up muddling up. Long queues, opening up to 15 minutes late, no please's or thank you's, and if you are lucky to get a Good Morning or Afternoon greeting, it is insincere. In fact it deserves to be closed down, the people running it have not got a clue.

This used to be a public house for years, not sure when it closed. It was converted at great cost to flats and look what happened. Wrecked.

This is a shop on Gravelly Lane in Erdington, not sure of its opening times. One of the shops that are curious to the passerby. It is a Militaria and Curios shop with a few badges and medals on window display. I have no connection with it, but it is one of the small shops in Erdington that have been here for years and are part and parcel of the town.

This is a shop called 'Reupholstery by Clive' on the corner of Court Lane and Somerset Rd, Erdington, Birmingham. It is a upholstery shop which does repairs, antiques, and suites. It has a showroom. I have never been in it, but it is one of those shops tucked away in Erdington off the beaten track.
