Hi Bernard, It is as Robert says a Hotel now, but Robert, it is actually called The Tri-Star. It was once the site of Elmdon House Farm as shown on the 1972, map below and from other maps that I have looked at, I dont believe there were ever any other houses there. 1937 To be attached in edit...

Going back to the beginning of this post...(2009) Robert, I don't know if you ever found the answer to your question, but here is a map from 1954 showing the Police office you asked about... sorry it's so late !!!

Hi Terry, I found this... YARDLEY COUNTY GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Warwick Road, Tyseley. Yardley Council Secondary Sch. (sometimes known as Sparkhill Secondary Sch.) opened 1904 by Worcs. C.C. in Sparkhill Institute. New building in Warwick Rd. opened 1910 (V.C.H. Worcs. iv. 535). War damage repaired...

It reminded me of Yardley Road School, Marlborough Road when I first saw it, but I dont think it is now

What an absolutely awesome thread, ... Well Done to everyone concerned :encouragement:

Thank you Terry, I have just had a quick look at the Long Long Trail but I will look properly later.

Hi lyn, Thank you for your reply :encouragement: Yes, I have found it on there, I was just curious to see if the actual page from the National Archives, held any more information that would help establish what he did in the war. The only difference is that is has 3. 1. and 43. before the...

Hi, Could anyone help me with this please? I sent off for the WW1 Medal page that had my Great Uncles name on to see if it held any clues to his service in the war, because there is no Service or Pension record for him. The only information on the page was this:- Regtl. No. GS/107875 Rank...

Thanks Viv. :encouragement:

Vivienne14, Thank you so much for updating your thread, I missed it first time round. I have been trying to help a friend find the right place to deposit/use his Grandfathers personal war diary and this would appear to be the ideal place, as there is a section for family collections too. I have...

Hi morrl02, I will check with the "owner" of the story and get back to asap,

Hi carolina, Thank you for the great photos and information, it all helps to form a picture of what the area was like where they lived. I realised after I had posted the map, that the Chapel I'd marked was wrong and that St Mary's wasnt actually on there, but it was getting late and I needed my...

Hi Pollypops, yes, I see what you mean.. :)

Hi carolina, Having looked at an old map of the area, I agree with you about High Street now being the Bristol Road. Kelly's for 1913 lists 260 High Street as being two doors away from The Selly Oak Inn which was on the corner of High Street and Harborne lane. It also lists, on the West Side...

Hi again carolina, I have just thought it through and had a quick look for Mom's, cousin's, hubby's Mom, She was born in 1897 and if I have the right one, is listed on the 1911 as being born in Selly Oak. Her father was George Ellis, who was a Baker and Confectioner on the census and they were...

Hi carolina, Thanks for responding .. I have no idea at the moment, I can only assume it was to do with Mom's cousin's husbands family, who I believe lived on the Bristol Road at some point, but Im not sure where.. I will try and find out more.

Hi, I have this lovely old school photo, which was part of a collection given to me when my Mom's cousin passed away, but I know nothing about it or where it fits into the family tree....Any information about the school would be greatly appreciated ..thanks

This is a photograph of Percival Fox on the Lewis gun, in the Arras Trenches

This is a map of the Arras frontline that is in the diary.
