Old Wharf

Bournville is still lovely, we did a nostalgia trip and were bowled over by how it has stayed as beautiful as we remembered it. I posted photo's but I guess they were lost when the Forum was hacked.
 
Spotted this 1772 conjectural view of Old Wharf for sale on eBay. Afraid it's not a great image but thought I'd put it on here for the record as I've not seen it before. (If anyone has a better copy would love to see it on here). Interesting how small the town looks at this time. Viv.

Thanks Viv, one of my ancestors was a coal dealer on Old Wharf but several years before this photo.
