Millward's

I remember when I was young most families would say they were related to some very wealthy family or someone famous.
Spike Milligan once said he was told by his father that they were related to the Kings of Ireland.
Spike said "If we are related to the Kings of Ireland why is the a**e out of my trousers!"

I'm not sure if was a chain of shops exactly but it was definitely a franchise for a lot of sewing and similar crafts and they are from round here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Milward_%26_Sons . They still use the brand for needles and the like.

My great grandmother was Mary Millward (1854-1904), eldest daughter of nine, and the family business was Tailoring - see premises and staff at 90 Moseley Road below. The building is still there, recently sold, opposite the entrance to the Park, but when the Matriarch died, she left almost everything to her eldest son Robert Owen Millward, who went into the Pub business and blew the lot away...as you do...
