Birmingham History On Bank Notes

And not before time I think. Below Watford, Birmingham is hardly recognised, or so it would seem.
 
Lets wait untill the next note with William Murdoch featured ah well !!!
 
I suppose two out of three ain't bad Wendy. Watched the news tonight and thought about blooming time. Jean.
 
Well I feel quite honoured in that I worked for Bill Bloye in the 1950s, doing the clay models used for the statues in Brum of Boulton Murdoch and Watt now going to appear on a Fifty Quid note .John Crump OldBrit.Parker, Co USA
 
True recognition of two of the major players in the industrial history of Birmingham. An accolade which the citizens - even those with little sense of the cities history (which often seems to include the City Fathers) - should welcome and be proud of.

Maybe Devon can look forward, at a future time, to Thomas Newcomen (born in Dartmouth) being featured on a bank note. :friendly_wink:
