St Patricks Day Parade part 1

The Birmingham St Patrick's Day Parade took place on a glorious sunny Sunday 11th March.

The parade assembles and commences at the top by Camp Hill and then proceeds down Digbeth High Street to St Martins Bull Ring and returns to Camp Hill.

This has got to be the best attended yet, thousands and thousands of visitors lined every vantage point.

This is the third largest of its kind in the world, New York and Dublin are ahead of Birmingham.

Here we see assembled ready for 'the off', two Burrell road locomotives, the first owned by Paul Davis and the second belongs to Neil Gough.

Ah Ha, me on my little blue Ford from 1966.



Maurice and Janet Allely on the David Brown Cropmaster. Maurice is the founder of Allely's Heavy Haulage.

A nice example of a Ford Anglia, with a 100E side valve engine. Late 1950's.



Who remembers the old Birmingham Corporation Daimler's. Lovely restoration here.


Mr Bernard 'Gangster' Whitehouse with his wife's restored 1960's Fordson Dexta complete with passengers.
