Birmingham, Alabama, in old photos & postcards
Hello friends, Samm Bennett here. Birmingham, Alabama happens to be my hometown, where I was born in the year 1957, and spent my first 20 years. Thanks to ye olde internets, I've been able to compile a collection of historical images from the city. Many of the places depicted in these old postcards and photos were familiar to me in my youth, and some I've discovered have shown me glimpses of a Birmingham that I never knew. Of particular interest to me are the old postcards and photos of places that I remember well, and spent some good times in (well, good and bad, naturally). Hope you enjoy.

This and all the other galleries here at my website feature images or historical items I find worthy of interest in one way or another, and I hope you will find something(s) here that interest you as well. I spend a great deal of time collecting and compiling these materials, which you are free to enjoy at your leisure. Should you want to support me in these efforts, and/or my musical efforts which you'll find plenty of here at the website, I do hope you'll consider making a donation (however small!) via PayPal to help sustain these activities. The PayPalMe link is HERE. Thanks!
