We had several dogs from there and they also boarded while we went on holiday. One time we collected the dog and the driver wouldn't let us on the bus as he was covered in brown disinfectant, my brother had to walk all the way home with him!! I remember going under the bridge by the Tannery...what a smell! The dog loved it, and wouldn't stop sniffing nearby.

Hi ellbrown,
just a quickly, in the last photo you took, there is a tower of some sort attached to a building. There used to be a business in that building selling tyres and washing cars. My question is, do you know what that building was originally? We used to get our vans washed there all the time, and the building always fascinated me.

As my ex Journalist wife would point out Ell - news is slow this time of year. It may be that it has been mentioned at some council meeting.
Hi elbrown.
What a coincidence last night I was going to mention the old dogs home on new canal street lat night
On here in the forum but I was called away for a while so I cancelled the beginning of what I was typing on screen
Yes I know the dogs home it was just yards from my grand parents home and transport B and B business
There coffee shop was on the very corner and we would hear all the dogs going barmy
I was going to say about the home for the dogs are going up market I say that with a little smile on my face
It was a dirty cramped old home for them on new canal street which I know as I went in there one day to take home a dog for my little kids at the time
When we lived on Coventry road opersite the old rootes, car factory and I used to pass it every week end when I used to spend my week ends
Up on new canal street at the coffee shop and my mother grew up there when she was a kid
She was born thou at no,4 Parliament street then they moved and lived her younger days growing up at canal street
Since then as well the dogs was moved out of new canal street around to Bartholomew street just behind bordesely Street many years ago to a nice clean living quarters just like looking at a block of high rise flats from the corner
And they do get well looked after by the team of experts and managements over the decades
Well watered and fed thanks to the people of brum by donating tenpence every Christmas time they put an little advert in the paper
To give these fellas a Christmas dinner quite area years back there was a very old man whom was a butcher on Coventry red
By the pub and the stream he left forty thousand pounds to new canal dogs home to build that new complex for the dogs
Up around on bartholmom street now years later they are going up market as gain
Within area months from now they are going up market to the posh quarters of Solihull at Catherine de Barnes Lane to brand new kennels
I was wondering about this H S 2 train business coming in would this old new canal street home be in the way
Or the place they are at now cutting through digbeth as any bearing on there move
Or is it a council compulsory purchase in advance as they do for the future Astonian,,,

Gone, but not forgotten.
If you could see where they have moved the RSPCA from Barnes Hill to, its ridiculous. It's right out in the countryside at the back of Frankley Green. I took my granddaughter out there for a job interview last year and it's impossible to get there unless you are a car owner. So how some pensioners and other people who can't afford to get there will manage is beyond me. I thought the RSPCA was there for people who can't afford Vets fees?
i agree phil...i had one of my cats from barnes hill and that was bad enough to get to..the new place sounds near on impossible...
bit disapointed in the new location for the dogs home as it seems they are moving further out now..nothing is really central is it...does sollihull come under birmingham..im not sure..
