    we are now using a backup solution

St Johns Church Perry Barr

ahh what a cuttie viv....cant make out the poster either but i bet it is proclaiming your christening lol
 
Blimey Lyn you could be right! Or it might be 'not a public byway, no parking in this churchyard.' Seems my uncles car was exempt!

Had a look on Streetview and, as Oldmohawk says in post # 25 re his aunt's wedding photos, the pillars are still there. The entrance to the church looks the same too. It's good to see it so well maintained, including the churchyard. Viv.

Would love to see the photos Brenda. Are you able to send them in an email to me and I'll post them on the thread for you. Just message me if you want me to do it and I'll send you my email address. Viv.
 
A view of the church that you don't often see. This is dated c1904, and the church still has its spires.

Not sure about this, but the wall in front of the church must be where St John's Walk is today. If so Church Road/.Lane must be to the left.Viv
