I don't know about that but I am sure somebody will come along with a definite answer

Indeed it was, I have a picture here taken from above the perry common estate in 1927 with perry common road and then hawthorn road going up on the left. There is a blue marker where the farmhouse is.

Thank you mike but as the bowling club was not formed until 1920 I think that BG stands for burial Ground as I once saw a reference to the bodies being moved to the Oscott college around 1914, If you do come across one from the 1920's it would be much appreciated

Hi Mike, do you have any old maps that show the sutton park pub on the corner of boldmere road and jockey road, I am after one from the 1920's that show their newly built bowling green and one from before if possible Thank in advance

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody has any idea when the bowling green was added to the pub on boldmere road. We were under the impression it was 1925ish but I have just noticed the first club championship on the trophy was 1921. We would love to organise some sort of centenary celebration but...

The social club was knocked down last week and I wonder if anybody got to save some of the pictures that hung there.

I lived opposite the Chase pub for several years during the 90's in one of Birminghams finest maisonette blocks. It was a great time in my life but I didn't use the pub much as there seemed to be far to much trouble there.

Another question (spry for being a pain) but what road is this looking down on and what is that large white house in the picture, and does it still stand?

Thank you very much.

Both of those locations above appear to have properties that pre-date the demolition. Sorry to be a pain but could one of those that attended give a precise location. The one map above puts it where the Yenton school now stands, could it be there?

Where exactly was this orphanage? I am having trouble visualising where it maybe as houses that predate it's demolition stand in all the places I think of as suitable. Thanks

Re: the peaky blinders I have just watched it on the iplayer and I have to say I thought it was quite good as far as an entertaining TV program goes. Historical accuracy is a different matter though I didn't spot any glaring errors.

There is a clifton road and horsely road by little aston but not clifton drive.

When I started training as a toolsetter my boss said I have two rules 1= fetching the tea is your job 2 = don't put your fingers where you wouldn't put your cock. I don't fetch tea now but all my fingers are still in tact so quite good advice. lol

The second picture is one of sutton street? it looks like somewhere else to me I just can't think where, and that tower is familiar. Are we sure it is sutton street?

I sent the first four years of my life there moved in 1975/6ish I would loved pictures if somebody has any.

Thanks Bren, any idea where the name originated?

I have spoken to my daughter who attended Cardinal Wiseman and she tells me there is a memorial garden to the side of the school where a bench was placed for a pupil that died. She also said that talk at the school (and some of it was from history lessons) was that it was a buriel ground and the...

My house was on the next alley to this picture. It is strange how the locals have one name and the council officials have another. I am/was originally from pipe hayes so tending to use the more official name more.

Good morning Astoness, the entrance shown on the pic is where I got the kingstanding beacon from as it is in the iron works above that entrance. Maybe the council had a go at changing what it is called for some reason or maybe they didn't want to comission signs sayin pimple lol.
