    Bradford street

    Hi Mike, Always so quick to reply! :D That's perfect, thank you so much! I've scrolled through soooo many photos today and I wish there were more photos of this part of Birmingham at this time - there's a wonderful one on here with the man walking his Tamworths to slaughter but other than that...

    Bradford street

    Hello again, it's been a while.. I was wondering whether anyone had a full map of Bradford Street. I'm interested, firstly in where 111 Bradford Street was but also, what factories were on the street. I've just learned today of Henry Bradford who offered the land there to anyone willing to...

    Pubs Of The Past

    Hi Phil Thank you so much for this info! (I have so much love for this page.) How interesting that it listed Lilly as the licensee - I wonder why it closed? When you say it wasn't a fully licensed pub, what does this mean please? Would it have just been an off-licence? Or were they only...

    Bradford street

    Hi Mike, This is so interesting. I've been reading Census addresses as part of some family research and wondering what Court 3, 22 Bradford Road meant? It's so interesting to see where and how the courts fitted in with the address. Would you by any chance have the same type of map of the top...

    Pubs Of The Past

    Hi Down Memory Lane Thank you so much for this. I have come across this before and I've emailed the owner of this website as for some reason, he hasn't listed the Freemans as the last landlords. (I have been told that when William Freeman (of Moseley) died in 1908, the pub company (Rushton's...

    Pubs Of The Past

    Hello, Would anyone, by any chance, have any photos of The Woodsman Inn that used to be on Bradford Street until it closed in 1909? The last known licensees were ancestors of my husband (the Freemans) however, I can't seem to find out what happened to the pub or, indeed, where it was on...
