    Watery Lane

    Hi, my 3rd great grandfather Thomas Sheppard lived in Watery Lane, Boardsley in 1851. Its listed next to 172 Watery Lane, difficult to see the full address it looks like Sh???? Building, Watery Lane. Does anyone know what it might have been. Thanks

    Red Lamp, Hope Street

    Harry died 7 March 1918 at 2 Bloomsbury Street, Duddleston. I don't know to much about Ann from there other than the mens sock shop near the gasworks. She died in 1955

    Harry Edmunds and family are down in the 1901 census as living round the corner in Sherlock Street, can't make out the full detail but it was in between 266 and 268. My auntie seems to recall stories from his wife of him being landlord in a number of pubs in the area

    My great grandfather Harry Edmunds was landlord of the Red Lamp from approx 1896 - 1916. On his death my great grandmother Ann Edmunds ran a mens sock shop near Saltley gasworks. Does anyone have info on the Red Lamp or the shops near the gasworks. I have a photo of the pub c1900, hope it...
