c1991 I think. I liked it!

A bit of a long shot here but does anyone recall the 'Peacock' statue (cast iron) I believe, it used to be somewhere by one of the sets of steps outside of the sunken formal garden?

Please keep updating us on developments (pics) are great.. I no longer live in the area so don't get chance to take any pics myself..

I would like to add that the picture of the old Birches Green House (taken from my bedroom window) belonged to the Darlington family, they owned the large wood mill adjacent to it and you can still (amazingly) find the family burial vault in the graveyard at St Barnabas Church. The years between...

I have seen a photo from the same photographer taken of the entrance to Rookery Park. The location if my memory serves me correctly as Kingsbury Rd/Tamworth Rd. I fancy that Kingsbury Rd terminated at Spring Lane where it became Tamworth Rd.

My older sister, still in Erdington.

Can anyone tell me when the organ pipes were relocated from the choir area (see page 16) and where exactly were they relocated too?

Thank you Bernard..

Hello everyone.. I'll admit I have not had the time to read all the comments on the previous 20 pages, so please forgive me if this topic has been covered. Does anybody know if there are plans to replace the memorial plaque to our war dead in the Memorial Chapel?? Ian

Back in the day when the City Centre layout made sense and 'looked right'.

Dunlop continued Tyre Manufacture throughout WW11.. a relatively small amount of Spitfire manufacture (I believe steering gear) took place on the Dunlop Site. The vast majority of Spitfire manufacture was 'next door' at what is now the Jaguar Plant.

Indeed it was/is Erdington... B24 9QT

Hi world traveller. I remember your Dad as a tallish man with glasses and a pipe... I think he wore a 'cowgown'. I think your Mom worked in the shop as well! Ian

Well I think it is a b****y eyesore now and key hill brian is quite right... It is obvious the Vicar has little or no interest in the feelings of those whose relatives are buried in the grounds of the Church... lot's of talk talk but no action. Lots of War Dead memorials in the Church yard (some...

Thank you for that information.

That's interesting Chocks... are you referring to the church records for St Barnabas ? I thought they had been destroyed!
