HI GUYS.
On searching out a book for a fellow member ;[ mandy ] i went to cheltham yesterday and i discovered a person whom as alot of books and post cards of brum of yester years ; and i sen this red cover book written by steve jones
and its heading was birmingham the sinister side ; and it had alot about aston ; and the stories of its inhabbitants of the 1800- 1900
sadly it was not the book i was searching for but i decided to take it home it cost me four pounds mint condition
and its as some great storioes of the era and photos of the old streets and of the familys and there way of living ; and there crimes they committed ; and the most committed crimes was the husband striking there wifes over the head with an axe itwas regular thing
one man got nine months for the murder of his wife for axing her ;it tells you of the crime causes in victorian times along with alot of other things ;there is alot of photograh of aston and the surrounding streets of aston and with neibours and people standing in the door ways up these very decrepeted conditions; i thought cromwel terrace was a pitt and a slum but by golly the picture of these decaying propertys made 5/92lichfield rd a palace either with the over run cock roaches and plaster bugs eating us alive ; they are shocking and appalling to see these pics of the erly years of yester ear of aston ; we all knew of summe lane and the rough inhabbintants as they was in the 1800s and it states in that perid it was so bad they had to bring the gaurder [ police over to england to control summer lane and tackle them with there crime ;
its a really gem of a book it will make you relize just how bad crime was in those days compared with todays crime and it really will be a good book to learn more about aston ; and its street it may even keep you awake on some stories ;if you have not got i suggest you keep your eyes peeled for it as its a good read ; best wihes astonian;;
