    Broad Street statues c1930s

    I wonder if anyone recognises this statue to the east of the Hall of Memory from the 1930s. It looks like it is by William Bloye or Alan Bridgwarer. I cannot see that it is listed in George Noszlopy's book "Public Sculpture of Birmingham" so it is a bit of a mystery.

    Here's a not very good photo from 1979, showing the Observatory.

    Notable Brummies

    You basically have to have been dead for 20 years, for your legacy to have been suitably assessed. Whether you were born here, died here or you lived here for a time qualifies you for the association.

    Lordswood Boys' Technical School

    Yes, that is always the way. You loan them out and forget who 'borrowed' them. Unfortunately, I have only the 1960 and the 1969 ones. They are both before my time (74-81), but I saved them from being thrown away when I was there. Who would have conceived that I would be posting a digital copy...

    Still have my blazer, and here is the school badge, complete with 'colts colours' for rugby service, awarded in 1976.

    Here is a link to the LBGTS September 1969 Magazine. I couldn't upload it as it is too big at 7MB: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nmoctfbepp2uebj/LBGTS%20Magazine%20-%20September%201969.pdf?dl=0

    Wyndham John

    In 1911, his parents separated so his father becomes superfluous to the search, so it is where he lived with his mother. I have read that it was elsewhere and nearby in a smaller house in Edgbaston.

    Not sure, but mother would have been either Gertrude Parkes or, more likely, Gertrude Harris.

    Any ideas on where they lived , in Edgbaston. 1911-15?
