at the end so thats why it ended whenit did
thanks a million john best wishes astonian;;;;
 
I have put this one on my Christmas present list! I can't think of a better collaboration on a book about Aston, John Houghton and Ted Rudge. Thanks John.:)
 
I bought both book and calendar from Ted Rudge when he was at the Key Hill Open Day.
Some lovely photos on both, and either one would make a great Christmas present (but not mine...it's mine, all mine!!!)
 
Aston book is now on sale that makes the three done Winson Green and Ladywood any one looking for Chrismas presents
 
All three books are now available information below the Aston book as just arrived
 
I have noticed that the quality of repeoduction of the pictures by this publisher , Amberley, is much better than that which now seems to be the standard by The history Press, who have taken over Tempus , sutton, and other publishers which used to do a lot of the local history books
