    Thanks so much Lyn - I live in Cornwall so would have to do this online. Think I might just drop them an email or something and ask what is available! Will let you know what happens. Cassy x

    Workhouse Admissions

    Thanks so much - that saves me a hunt then! I know it was definitely 1920 as it was following the birth of her baby who was born that year.

    Hi I found this postcard amongst my father's belongings after he died - he loved Rubery, Rednal and the Lickey Hills. I wonder if anyone knows where the train ride was in Rednal? Thanks
