    Hi, just seen this post, the Kelsey was , I believe, the Crescent Hill Tavern before it was the Kelsey. My mothers family ,the Stoddards were there in the 1930s, it was a brew house till Kelsey's took over. My aunt was a barmaid at the Kelsey in the 30s. Sadly we have no photos of it.

    Birmingham Home for Lost and Starving Dogs

    I worked at Birmingham Dogs Home in the late 60s, it was grim and not just for the dogs. We did as good a job as we could, glad to see they have good premises now. I remember the Typhoo factory and the (awful) smells from the tannery!
