A blog reader who used to visit relatives down by the old Bush public house saw our photo in the
24th January 2012 posting (LINK) and e-mailed over a picture taken approximately 2005-6 of what the houses looked like on the grassed area before they were demolished
As can be seen these were well made 3 bedroom homes
most of them had been modernised with central heating and double glazing
a number of them were owned outright and private homes

Then along came a Labour Plan and a bulldozer and left this
Mysteriously homes one side of the road were demolished,
but identical homes the other side of the road were classed as OK ??
Perhaps a Labour Councillor would care to tell us why ?
Sandwells population was rising and Labour was turning Homes into grass fields

100's of good solid homes with off road parking, GONE
Sadly a well known and very liked gentleman passed away in the house on the right above
RIP
loved the picture and down loaded it
ReplyDeletemy family lived opposite the flock the council put new windows in it a new kitchen floor and a complete new kitchen rewired it then dad had the loft and the walls done with the insulation people and the council pulled it down
the bloke in that house was called jim he was loverly old man
I utterly deplore Labour, the left, have totally destroyed this once great country that Thatcher spent years putting right. Labours obsession with public transport a hatred of a car owning people and a disjointed view that people like pedestrianisation is mirrored across the country. Wherever they are in power towns are dying your little town of West Bromwich looks a mess of its former self
ReplyDeleteI have grave concerns that Labours idiotic rush to have new shops a considerable distance away form your little town will end in the total collapse of you main high street.
Google Earth shows plainly the distribution of parking spaces, Planners now that a car park space brings in £x per hour to the area.
little car parking to support the high street
is a recipe for disaster
Do you remember a Mrs Quiqin who ran the shop at the corner of the lane ?? I just dont understand why Labour pulled down the prefabs on the reck
ReplyDeletethe prefabs were better than those awful brand new homes on the lyng
the lane is just not the same any more they ruined it
the houses in wattle road were so good but they have all gone and people still vote for the fools that pulled down their home
