Thank you Maurice yet again you have found out more than all my searching has highlighted. I need a tutorial!! I had seen the information on the library catalogue as he took some photos which are held in Elizabeth Cadbury and other families archives I can now dig deeper with his year of birth...

Maurice Thank you for all this information I am following it up as you suggest. I am amazed at how much information you have been able to provide. I wonder if you have come across any information on another Birmingham Photographer of the late 1800s ES Baker (and sons) based on 154 Bristol Street...

Thank you so much for this wonderful information I have struggled to find anything like it. I have some old photos from Birmingham archives which was taken by Morland Braithwaite and would like to use in a book publication but obviously am mindful of copyright. this gives me a lot to work with...

Apologies for the lateness of my reply. Thank you for responding and like you so far I have also drawn a complete blank

I am on the same mission as I am seeking to ascertain if some images I wish to use are still copyrighted to him. Did you get any further in your investigations?

Thank you so much. I noticed on this thread that a gentleman had managed to get a photo of the inside of the white building and a sign GOD was on the wall giving a strong indication that it too was a place of worship in some way. Hence I thought that may have been the Hall. Dawn

Thank you so much! Do you happen to know whether Friends Hall was the red brick building or the white adjacent one - or both. and are they in use anymore. The white building certainly looks derelict but the red one not so much. On the Quaker site it says the Hall was sold in the 1980's so I...

Lyn Thank you for sharing these photos they are fabulous. I am currently researching and writing about the Midland Adult Schools and am looking for photographs of the Farm Street Friends Hall which I believe was built and opened in October 1894. Adult School meetings were held there, I have seen...

Hi Thank you for posting these pictures of the Friends Hall on Farm Street I believe my Great Grandad Tom Hill, Grandad Fred Hill and Uncle Les used to attend the Adult School classes held there in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Does anyone know any more about this particular school? Thanks Ps...
