A little off topic but Alfred Homer jnr (son of above) died a very wealthy man. He was secretary to Aston Villa for a while before moving to Bristol Rovers. He moved to the north of Birmingham and left his fortune, made by selling to M & B, to his nieces and nephews. They in turn erected a stained glass window to his memory in St Michael's Boldmere, in 1938 where he is buried. This everlasting memorial was actually to last less than 30 years as it was destroyed in the fire of 1964.
Coincidentally the Ansells and Moores (HP) sauce also had windows in this church - all gone now.
As far as I remember Joseph Ansell started his brewery in The Hope & Anchor off Aston Cross.
