Thank you.

Thank you .Ted remembers Trevor Jones, and the Lancashire hotpot!!

My husband did his apprenticeship at Finney Presses in Berkeley Street off Broad Street 1946-1951. He would love to know what happened to them? Thanks

I meant where is the park!! The people have Birmingham and Worcester connections. Thanks

Brilliant. Now tell me where it is!!

How did you do that? Photoshop ?

Wow , thanks

Thank you that's looking great now

Thanks for that Alan. That's all a bit early for him though, as he started at the shop in 1901 and died in 1929. Photo must have been mid-late twenties. We reckon the white gloves belonged to the photographer as there is a camera case with them. I have a second picture taken at the same time...

Actually, he and his family had a Newsagents shop at 211 Moseley Road. His name is Edward Cook Gibbs. I was getting confused with another family member, also an old man with a white moustache who did live in Edgbaston!

Oh right thanks. plan B then!

Yes I agree, but we have sussed out that it is possibly Highgate Park. Thanks

I think they are William Mace Jeynes 1860-1926 and Jane Jeynes nee Snape 1860-1925. William was born in Birmingham but his mother was from Upton. Thank you very much for that info, our daughter lived in St Johns as a student. Yes, in 1901 and 1911 they lived in Summer Road Edgbaston.

Thank you. Wondering how they got there with a wheelchair from Edgbaston! Train? There was a car in the family, an Austin Clifton tourer I believe from another thread.

City side I think matching the buildings on the 1921 photo
