I believe my grandparents married at a church on the corner of Gt Hampton Row. I have a memory of seeing the church standing on a corner when I was a child riding on the bus, probably the No 72, from Snow Hill to Soho Road Handsworth, and being told it was where my grandparents were married, but never knew the name of the church. Any answers please?

Hi Astoness
Thanks for info on St Georges. I am new to the forum and sometimes have difficulty locating threads. Can you tell me where I find the St Georges thread and how to get there. I have also been told to access thread for Defford Road but again not sure how to get there. Help!

While on the subject of Gt. Hampton Row, can anyone shed any light on the address 19 Colmore Terrace, Great Hampton Row? My maternal grandparents were living there in 1915, when my grandfather William Robert HEWSON signed up for army service in WW1. In 1911 they were at 217 Gt. Russell St. so they must have moved some time between those dates. But where was Colmore Terrace? It doesn't seem to exist as a street on any map I've looked at (including the large scale Alan Godfrey map - so I'm guessing it was a particular terrace of houses (or a court?) on or just off Gt. Hampton Row. Any information gratefully received.
Regards

I can remember a coffee house in Great Hampton Row located within a few yards of where the above picture was taken. My grandparents lived behind "Loo Blooms" Gents Tailors and was very close to the coffee house. This was during the war years and after. The close knit community was completely broken up following redevelopment. This served to fiinish the close bond that had developed during the war years. Sad!
