10/5/2008	A couple of shots for the railway fans. A super picture of Curzon Street Sidings has been added to the Birmingham Rail Sites section and a view of Stoke Works Station has been added to the Midland Area Stations section. I've also updated the Dunhampstead page in the latter with a modern view.
26/4/2008	Added Bearwood to the South Birmingham Businesses section. In addition, Weoley Castle now has a complete set of modern views and I have to thank Dave and Ray for helping me update the Liverpool Overhead Railway page.
12/4/2008	Apologies for the lack of updates recently. I've been busy and work is getting rather hectic so I'm afraid this is likely to continue for the next few weeks... Just some minor updates today. Thanks to Mary for providing a superb picture of her father's shop in Cotteridge. This has been added to the Cotteridge page in the South Birmingham Businesses section. Thanks also to Carlton who has provided a couple of modern views for the Weoley Castle page in the same section of the site. I've added a lovely colour slide of a diesel train crossing the bridge over the River Severn at Worcester to the Worcester page of the Other Places section. Finally, thanks to Tom who pointed out that I had my 73001 mixed up with my 72001 on the Cadbury Works Railway page.
24/3/2008	Added Weoley Castle to the South Birmingham Businesses section.
22/3/2008	Added Longbridge to the South Birmingham Businesses section.
8/3/2008	Added Kings Norton to the South Birmingham Businesses section. Also, added some splendid shots of Evesham (Midland) Station to the Midland Area Stations page. Finally, corrected a couple of captions on one of the New Street Station At Work pages thanks to Charles.
23/2/2008	Added Cotteridge and Selly Park to the South Birmingham Businesses section. Also corrected a couple of broken links.
10/2/2008	Once again I'm delighted to be able to provide some additional pictures of Old Brum long after exhausting the collection of my father's photographs. I can't thank Geoff Thompson enough for allowing me to use pictures aquired by him some years ago to extend the Birmingham section of the site. Please check out the new page called South Birmingham Businesses. The initial pictures are of Stirchley and other areas will be added in the coming weeks.
3/2/2008	I have archived the history for the first three years of the site's existence here. This new history page will follow the convention of the latest update at the top. You may be interested to know that I'll be presenting a slideshow entitled 'Around Birmingham City Centre, Past & Present' at Bromsgrove Library on Saturday 8 March at 2:30pm. I believe tickets are required so please contact the library on 01905 765025 or email BromsgroveLib@worcestershire.gov.uk.
