MEMORY Lane takes a trip back to the early part of last century with this photograph of The Bell pub in Britten Street.

The date the picture was taken is uncertain but the building seen is still there today, although no longer a pub.

The photograph was kindly loaned from the collection of Redditch Pictorial History Society's Alan Foxall, more of which can be seen next year in his forthcoming book.

And the Redditch Advertiser has produced a limited edition calendar for 2001 featuring more photographs from Mr Foxall's collection.

These exclusive flip-over monthly appointments calendars cost £2.99 and are available from our offices at 12 Church Green East, Redditch, or can be reserved by calling 453500.
