Not necessarily.

The underground toilets in the upper precinct spring to mind.

Spoke to someone once who had gone in there for a dump, there was a hole in the cubicle wall.
Whilst he was sat there someone shoved their willy through the hole

"spoke to someone" did you.

i remember the underground toilets where browns was were a bit dodgy. "someone" once told me.

Hopefully it gives him some ideas as the other week he said he wants to go to the Humber because it looks good.

That's a temporary pub to replace one bombed during the war. There was another in Jordan Well called the Mattock & Spade, bulldozed to make room for the Herbert. I've yet to find a good picture of it.

we used that chip shop in the 70s and early 80s. best chips in cov!

Yeah, we'd either walk there or to the Seagull in Bell Green - depending where we were drinking at the time.
Used to love the Bell. Another lost pub.

Blimey! Can't believe my old thread from August 2016 has been revived! Nearly 8 years old! Nice to see it still has interest!

Christchurch. All but the spire was later demolished to make room for New Union Street.
