Well Dutchman and Primrose it looks as if I was not dreaming after all. Well I am amazed funny how some stories just stick and I have to say it was heroic, thank goodness we never see anything like that ever again, thanks both for the response. Colin

Seen this before, but can't remember where Is it White Street, with Swanswell Park to the right? And the Hippodrome in the background?

That pile of bricks had once been the Toby's Head! Sad Once it was cleared it became a car park for many years.

I found this footage on YouTube and would like some information on the various shots. For instance, where were they dancing towards the end of the film? Coventry 1945

I am just on my second Brandy and Babycham and even I thought there was something a bit odd with the traditional procedure of smoking a pipe!

Glad you enjoyed it Foxcote, you saw it was Bill Owen, but the Mother was played by Sheila Mercer who played Mrs Sugden in the original Emmerdale Farm. Some great clips. The prefabs were Canley, and the old houses to be knocked down were in Cheylesmore
