Hi Lizy

Listing from 1950 Kelly's Directory which would be the listing of 1949.

Hi can anyone look me up my Grandad who was a licensee of a pub in Halesowen in the 50,s/ 60,s callled the Anchor . It was on Gorsty Hill and his name was Charles Field. Thanks.:)
 
Thanks for that, Terry. Why some of my pictures turn this way - have no idea. Can't find any pictures of the Country Girl in our case of pictures - mores the pity. Did you recognize anyone.? Miriam
 
The Country Girl. It's no longer a pub as such, I believe it is an Indian retaurant now, not too sure though.

Terry B 18. Through my 'now eyes' the Country Girl doesn't look the same as I remember. Remember it was on a corner and opposite it was the RC Rosary Church - is that still there? Miriam.

Thanks, Al & Terry. No, I am afraid I did not recognise anyone in the picture, but 1940 was perhaps a tadge early for my connections. Shame, though.
 
Thank you Terry B for that picture of the Roasary - That was my elder brother and mine church and I think the school was at the back of the Church. How old is that picture? Miriam.
