Life in Birmingham 1775 ?

The author of that site, J M Jones, is a hero of mine. I believe he was headmaster of George Dixon's School, and he has done some wonderful research and documentation. Everything is very readable and exciting. He must have been a brilliant teacher.
His studies of Aston Manor are also on the net, I can't remember where now.

I found this site very interesting particularly the war years Thank you
 
I seem to remember John H, or someone posting a link to that site not long after I first joined the forum five years ago.
Search for History of Birmingham at www.bgfl.org.
Here you can quickly download a compressed self-extracting file.
(While you’re there take a look at the collected works, though not quite all, of John Morris Jones (Run a Search), laboriously digitised, maps and all, by Clinton Davies (to whom thanks) and made available by myself via Robin Ball (to whom thanks) to a wider audience

Thanks Judy, that's an interesting site, I've shown it to other ppl interested in birmingham.
 
I have searched for one but as bgfl no longer exists so far I have only managed to access it via webarchive and the "pictures" don't show on there only text.
