Many thanks for the info Mike

Hi Mike can I be a pain and ask if you know if 298 Summer Lane was a pub in 1851? Thomas Showell is shown on the census as a licensed victualler living there.

Many thanks for the map. I can see now where the street meets with the wharf.

Just had another look at the certificate and I think it is Cambridge St. Does anyone know if that is Kingston Wharf please?

Many thanks, I had looked but couldn't find her.

We had a meeting of long lost cousins in The Bull today over a very nice lunch. Still going strong after Rose the landlady's retirement. Owned in the 1800's by my 4 x grandfather Joseph Showell and his family.

Hi does anyone know anything about a lady named E M Amphlett who I think lived on the Hagley Road at some time and who wrote letters to soldiers during WWI? She may have been connected to the church or to a society called Band of Hope.

Does anyone remember the Edwards family from 61 Inkerman Street about 1957?
