    Birmingham museum and art gallery.

    Thanks Lady P. I assumed it was open because they don't seem to be doing the online lectures they started during lockdown.

    Birmingham museum and art gallery.

    I thought it had been open recently? I don't live in Birmingham now, so perhaps misunderstood.

    How interesting. The 'uptairs,downstairs' type of division is a bit shocking.

    Mr Cherry didn't teach me but I knew him. He married Miss Windsor and they had two boys, I think.

    W.H. Price Ltd Tool Hire

    Maisie was another name my cousin used to mention. I can't remember when Audrey retired, but probably in the 1980s. At her funeral several years ago I met Emily (I think it was Emily).

    W.H. Price Ltd Tool Hire

    My father's cousin used to work there, if I've got the right place. Her name was Audrey and she worked with Iris, Olga and Emily. She used to talk about Mr Tim (that was how he was known). There was also Reuben.

    I remeber the Bull Ring one having a soda fountain, where you could have a milkshake in the sort of glass that you don't see now, and the one in New Street having (I think) three floors.
