THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR POSITIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LOSING MARCIA AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. It's tough and without the help of my dear Daughter Sarah, who lives a few miles from me, I do not know what I would do. But now 92, I have to carry on and live whatever time I have left as best as I can

The Pub on Church Rd, up Barrows lane, was destroyed by fire can't remember the name

Who knows, everyone had their tale to tell. I love them all!! The Vicar told me his version when I was there many years ago. Very interesting building that has been added onto over the years.

The St Bernard's Grange was my parents' favorite pub!! Every night, they would walk down there from our house on Moat Lane, Yardley
