master brummie
I joined this site - only a few days ago - to pursue research in family history and found, as I suspect many others have done, that I was drawn in by all the other fascinating aspects of the site and the history of Birmingham and the area.
However, I'm a little surprised not to have seen anything on the site referring to J R R Tolkien. Is anyone on here doing any research on him and links between his writing and the city? I have studied links between his writing and English mediaeval literature but would be interested to discuss his Brummie roots and how his writing relates to the area and its people.
