That afternoon they travel through hazardous icy weather to reach the Plaza Ballroom, Old Hill, near Dudley, Staffordshire, for their first scheduled evening performance. But they are unable to make it the 11 miles to the Ritz Ballroom, King’s Heath, Birmingham, Warwickshire, due to a blizzard and the coldest temperatures in seven years. The Ritz performance is rescheduled for February 15. The Beatles’ second single, “Please Please Me/Ask Me Why” (Parlophone 4983), is released in the U.K. It spends 11 weeks on the charts; highest chart position: No.1.

“ Drainage works and restoration of the Henbury Wall in Highbury Park
I was excited to get one of the ♥ Kings Heath shop local tote bags this weekend- they were made as part of the Kings Heath Party on the 5th but if you are lucky some shops in Kings Heath still have some left if you ask.
There is also an amazing new cheese shop open on York Road.
The New Life Baptist Church, which has already opened up the front of its building and created a coffee bar for local shoppers, is now planning to landscape its ‘front garden’. (via B13 Home: Moseley and Kings Heath, Birmingham (B13)
