That's really helpful. Thankyou.

Thankyou for the info. My ancestor lived in Moor st, Wolverhampton. I wonder if there was another Viaduct pub in that area? Many thanks :-)

With regard to The Viaduct pub, Lawley St. Does anyone know if it was ever called the Viaduct Inn? Also when it was built? Researching my family history, I have discovered an ancestor who possibly owned the pub between 1900 and 1926. Her name is Kitson. Many thanks

Hi everyone. For anyone that maybe interested, I have found a supplier of grey peas both cooked and uncooked. West Bromwich market. Bon appetit!

Thanks for all the replies. Did'nt expect to get them from a pet shop but all the replies are very interesting!

Does anyone out there know where I can buy grey peas around Birmingham or the Black Country? I'm sure you must be able to get them from somewhere.

Hi, Enjoyed looking at your photos. It appears that there are to be discussions about the future of "The Archway of Tears". See the Birmingham England site at www.ted.rudge.btinternet.co.uk If you don,t know it it's very informative. :)

Hi Jean, Thanks for your reply. I have looked at the post on Workhouses but cannot find what you have written. This could be me as i'm not very familiar with the wondrous workings of the computer! Help! Best wishes Mary

Hi everyone, I have just looked at the Birmingham England site (Brookfields and Winson Green) and was shocked to see the photo of the remains of the workhouse,Western road. I think something should be done to save this little bit of Brum's history. It's sad to see it like this after the memorial...

Looking for descendants of my grandparents, James and Mary Evans. Originally from Westbromwich and Wolverhampton. Lived in Winchester grove,Wattville rd,Handsworth where my father John was born in 1906. There were another six brothers and sisters.:) Grateful for any info.
