I'd be interested if someone can answer too, I can remember there was a Kardomah in New Street and I think it may have been in that block but my memory puts it on the other end, where the vacant shop is?

just a thought Rod and myself went to a lot of trouble to aquire a number of Kelly's directories for the benefit of the site so why don't you use them they are here for you to use and ours will still be here in a couple of years or more.
we also have other history discs about Birmingham just ask to see if they cover the time scale you are researching

That opticians always made my mate smile he often thought were the partners the same people involved in the Profumo Affair ha ha

I believe the Kardomah in New Street was owned by the brothers Tony and Phil Woodward during the 1960s. I also believe that one of them was a DJ. If anybody has any information about Anthony Woodward or Philip Woodward I would be delighted her hear about it.

I know I'm terribly late in coming to this thread - and had never heard of 'The Kardomah' before - but I've just popped on my PC with a minuscule amount of information at my fingertips, thinking that I was going to be wasting my time... In brief, I had a reference to a Phil Woodward, who supposedly 'owned a restaurant', in the Birmingham area, during the early 60's... and that was all!

What chances of finding out the name of the business concerned and where it might have been, wonders I? A million and one chance, I tell myself...!

Evidently, I was underestimating the fantastic people on the superb 'Birmingham History Forum', wasn't I!? Lol!!

Hi Nicholas,

Isn't this forum fantastic.

Please can you tell me any more about the Phil Woodward you are researching. He is part of my family but proving difficult to track down, depite his fame at the Kardomah.

Hi Jason,

Being the one trick pony that I am, I'll readily admit that I can seldom add anything constructive to conversations... but I know that - if I'm struggling with anything 'Brum related' during the course of my research - I can always pop on here and, most probably, find what I'm looking for!

With regards to the data concerned, I'm afraid it won't really help much with your own family research, but - for what it might be worth - this clipping was taken from the 'Psychic News' for the 18th of February, 1961. Knowing how the 'P.N.' works, there would have surely been an article about this matter printed in some other newspaper, which possibly contained 'more' information, perhaps. ('P.N.' had / has a habit of simply re-writing - and abbreviating - other media sources, etc).61 2 18.jpg
