    Church Hill House, the Endwood, Handsworth

    The garden was a wonderful place on a Sunday afternoon/evening in the summer. Many times as I get older how I wish I could have captured those moments in a Time Machine.

    Church Hill House, the Endwood, Handsworth

    I used the Endwood beer garden, I had friends that were two years older who would buy beer and crisps for me :cool:. As I got older I enjoyed it in the summer months then when the weather changes go inside to the smoke room. Yes it is so VERY sad it is in a state of misuse.

    Yes, nothing changes. Politicians have no spine they just follow the money, have no resistance to money and influence! I serve on two boards with the caveat that I will tell you what I believe you need to know not what you want to know. You would be surprised, or maybe not how many don’t want...

    Excellent detail Stokkie! I do not see, albeit from a distance the true gain for the citizens. I worked for a butcher after school on SoHo Road, 264 to be exact.
