As far as I am aware the whole site is being developed into a "Super", very high building, there was an article on Midlands today about 12 months ago about it. I did have the phone number of the developers because I had been given authorization to remove the "Royal George" sign, as my uncle was...

Shera....St Johns Road, Sparkhill looks like it is Percy and his mother Marie, so his father had died by then Colin....in the kellys of 1949 did it give an occupation/trade etc for William Frederick Jules Hobro....this would be a brother of Percy because Jules is the paternal grandfather Mike...

Hi Colin Have sent you a message, but am not allowed to IM you........I wonder why!!!!

Thankyou Shera....I can only assume that that is a child of Percy, because in 1955, December, he married Elizabeth Gladys Burrows, it dosen't by any chance give an age please. Thankyou mikejee....I am assuming that it would be pubs in Birmingham, as that is where Elizabeth and her previous...

I'm interested in any information on Percy Tissot Hobro born 1907 Glamorgan, died 1967 Birmingham, married December 1955 to Elizabeth Gladys Burrows (widow) nee Jones. Thankyou in advance :)

Has anybody any access to a 1955 public house/hotel directory to do a lookup on a potential licensse. The name I am looking for is either Elizabeth Glayds Hobro or Percy Tissot Hobro, this is a long chance enquiry, I know that Elizabeth Gladys Hobro, nee Burrows, nee Jones was in the pub trade...

My great grandmother was a Ruth Hipkiss b 1864 Cradley, my tree of Hipkiss goes back at the moment to the 1600's, and they mainly all come from Cradley/Rowley and Dudley. If you have any Hipkiss from that area there is a brilliant website called Black Country Connections, not only the Hipkiss...

Thankyou Joan, that is very helpful, have copied and pasted and will check my write up on Sarehole Mill later.....Mercote Mill was in Berkswell, which came under the Meriden umberella, hopefully I have attached my notes concerning this mill :)

Take a look at this site, fantastic www.oldbirminghampictures.lefora.com

Has anyone any information on the Outdoor, Orphanage Road, Erdington please :)

They are beautiful, I am trying to get a set of them, there is a stamp fair on in Sutton at the beginning of September so am hoping to try and purchase a set, if not will be contacting the Isle of Man to try and get some. They were issued in April of this year, so hopefully fingers crossed...I...

I do believe they have unearthed some part of a mill to!!! I'm going to take a peek on Wednesday :)

Why oh why can't the British Postal service do some nice stamps like these....looks like I have to send of to the Isle of Man for them :crying:

I am trying (in vain) to untangle a web, and I will appologise now for any cans of worms that may be unravelled. Arthur Baker is my husbands real father, we know that, he lived at Buckingham Street from 1952 - 1961, which is when we assume that he died, I found a death for an Arthur Baker in...

What a superb find, I hope you don't mind but I have copied the picture of the mill. I would imagine that the Coleshill History Society would be very interested in reading what you have, especially John Hayfield who has wrote many books on Coleshill, Shustoke etc. Well done :)

Virusman do you mind if I copy that photo, isn't it a beautiful building, so proud and perfect....why oh why do the owners/councils let these magnificant building s go to rack and ruin, last time I went past there were all wild flowers growing from the crevices on the roof...I wish i had the...

Brilliant Ladywood :)

Elmdon Airport was originally going to be built at Longmore Road, Shirley, at a cost of £70,000, but the council failed to reach agreement with the owners of the land, the Engineer changed his mind, due to the rapid building of a housing estate in 1930's, they decided that Elmdon would be the...

Lovely photos, can't wait to see the painting if you do one of them....I recognise your dog, so next time I walk past if you hear "Hello Eric" you will know who it is......yours truly :) :)

Alberta, you can still access the pathway from the churchyard, you go through a field, heading down to the River, but I thought that one was the River Blythe, over the bridge and then there is a nice walk towards Maxstoke Golf club. I'm only saying the River Blythe, because from that bridge I've...
