can you tell why did nelson visit Birmingham in 1802? any strong connection? thanksLast week I went to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London. And I saw quite a few Nelson related objects. Such as the coat he wore when he died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Also saw a couple of portraits (one was at Queens House). And some models of Nelson's Column. I took photos of them but have not uploaded them yet.
In the meantime, enjoy my existing Nelson photos on my Flickr Horatio Nelson
Hi Vivienne14,Was Nelson's statue moved across the road? I thought it stood by the pedestrian ramp into the Bull Ring. Viv.
Welcome to the forum Fletcherfamilyason.. thank you for that interesting insight. Hope you find things of interest to you on here
Speakers Corner. I doubt anyone here remembers Moseley giving talks along with his guardians there during the 1930's. There were, apparently fights between the political factions. Maybe one of our newspaper cutting experts can find sometthing about this.
