I don't know if this has been posted before but I can't find it on the forum.

In 1897 a photographer called Joseph Hughes opened a studio in Bromsgrove. Over the next 10 years he built up a collection of glass negatives. These negatives were given to someone in 1976.
With the help of a grant these negatives were scanned and can be viewed on this site:

If you click on gallery at the top, a window opens with a search box - you can then enter a search name.

Unfortunately they only have a surname to identify them. Some have no name.
It may be worth a look - many people moved from areas like Bromsgrove into Birmingham for work.
Even if you don't find any ancestors the photos are interesting.
