My 2 x great grandfather stayed at a hostelry somewhere around Birmingham Heath in 1835 - 1845 according to his diaries. He referred to this as Carters or the White Horse or Carters White Horse. Possibly Carter was the "landlord". Does anyone know anything about this inn/pub, particularly where exactly it was and whether it is still in existence.
When he was staying there he used to visit his uncle Thomas Townshend (canal and railway contractor) who lived initially at Shireland Hall (I know where that was - Smethwick) but he later moved to "Heath Cottage" on Birmingham Heath. Has anyone come across this house ?
Thanks
