Think this one is in the street where Benefit Street was filmed (didn't watch it, but did read a bit about it)
Actually a few bits of true retro stuff in there, amount other cr*p

Someone was talking about interesting colour schemes in one room earlier?:eek:

(Apologies for the arty-***** word, but 'window' just doesn't seem appropriate).

Just been browsing quite a few places in Birmingham, and have a bucket in the bath seems to be the norm.

I've never put a bucket in my bath, and not sure why I would, just trying to think of reasons?

-hand washing (clothes) in the bucket in the bath?
-can't be for rinsing hair-a plastic jug would do, yeh?
-storage? Lack it storage anywhere else?
-on water meter, collect rain water in bucket & flush loo?
- diarrhoea (on loo) and vomiting (in bucket) at some time?
-soaking clothes before washing?

Please someone enlighten me, in case I need to find a bucket too?

Well, it wouldn't fit in the bathroom...

Far more impractical is the carpet in the sitting room, coupled with the open fire. I wonder if they hoover the logs before bringing them in? :think:

And they'll be off-piste, looking for snow in Kingsbridge (Pic 3)

B*ggered if I know either, but I used to lodge at a farm where they kept coal in the bath.

I thought that about the logs, they don't look like they've come directly from the local logging yard-they look "designer"!!!

A humble submission based on my first experience of Birmingham last year:

It's for the coal. True Brummies use it in place of Radox.

They don't call the area The Black Country for nothing.

Oh no! Please retract that Dave, or I shall suffer for weeks
My Welshman was brought up in Brum & insists that the Black Country is a different area in a different county; & when he was young, had a different language.

Jasper Carrott used to insist that 'they' soaked their false teeth in Domestos.

Oh blast, I'd missed the best bit:
