Not sure whether I have posted this in the correct place, please move if not.

Brian, my brother-in-law, turned this up when he was going through some of his papers a while ago and has given me permission to post on here about it.

When he was 12, in 1958, he was at the above baths and saw a body lying in the bottom of the pool so he jumped in and fished the boy out.

He was awarded the certificate and forgot about it, but when it turned up again he wonders whether anyone remembers this and what happened to the boy. He was living at 10 Gorleston Grove at the time and he remembers it being in the local paper, I'm wondering whether anyone would be able to find a copy for him/me?

The online papers do not go that late (well certainly not in the Birmingham area) unfortunately
