[Where I am]

I reckon it's Great Barr Street Bridge since someone has kindly pencilled in "Heath Mill Lane". I assume the warehouse was demolished to make way for the railway bridge.

It's on 4/7 01.10 AM Wednesday but their schedule classes it as Tuesday.

Thanks for the heads up. Being repeated on Wed so have set to record series.

I assume that the firewall and the Windows Defender running on the Host machine, will protect the Virtual machine too?

I don't think it will. I've had viruses on a Windows virtual machine running under Linux.

[Does anyone know this ice breaker location]

I think that I can see a bridge hole through the bush which could be Apple Pie Lane Bridge and a building to the left which could be Hartshill Wharf. The line of trees seems to stop at the bridge which would fit with the present view although the house on the bridge would have to be later than the photo.

[First, first unread and last posts]

I haven't set anything up on the new forum. I just log in, click the "Unread Content" at the top, then click the blue dot against a thread I am interested in and I'm taken to the first post that I haven't read. (Actually, I middle click to open it in a new tab then scroll down to the next interesting topic and repeat...)

Once I have seen all I want to, I click "Mark site read ".

Thanks for the book name. There are many on the Internet generally, but none on ebay in particular.

I will call in the round-house book shop next time I am over that way.

Thanks.

 

The lady in the shop told us that she once met Dr Langford when he visited the shop.

If you want information about the Staffs And Worcester Canal,then I suggest " Towpath Guide No !, Staffordshire and Worcester Canal by Dr.J.Ian Langford.0 900404 22 1. Sadly,Dr. Langford past away last year, Ebay may be the best way to get hold of a copy.Published in 1972 and long out of print. In the photo section,there is a photo of the round house.The photo clearly shows iron railings on the bridge and the end of a brick building.I think this may have been the stables.

 

They still have a few copies at the Gailey shop. I bought one there 3 weeks ago.
