I am led to believe that in 1930 my great grandfather Robert Burrows was licensee of this hotel, is there any way of checking this. Where abouts is Victoria Hotel, any pictures would be very helpful. I have an address of Albert St/Thomas Street if this is of any help. Thankyou in advance :)

Autumn and Winters on the way so back to the mills of Birmingham and Warwickshire. I have got references to two mills that have eluded me, so here's hoping someone can help me....I'm sure they are connected to mills by a different name, but after googling and looking on National Archives...

Thanks Mike and Kieron....sorry I went of topic of Sir Cahrles Napier :)

Hi Max, If the cottages are opposite the concrete works they were built 1904, there is a picture in the book "Around Coleshill" of them, they were not on the map of that area in 1835, in fact in 1835 the only property around that area was by the looks of it some cottages just over the "Swan"...

I haven't got much on Harbourne Mill, just a little story from 1750 and then the census for Joseph Davis...you would have to give me a few days to see if I have anything in my unwritten notes. The only other thing that I have is that the Davis also owned Lifford Hall Rubber Mill in 1841.

Fantastic news Les & Roz, catch up on all that lost sleep now. Even though you have the worry when you get recalled I think that the breast cancer department do a bostin job, they act so fast. When I was recalled I had to go to the main Coventry hostpital and in all honesty I could not praise...

I can only echo what everyone else has said Les. I to was recalled last year which only ended up as calcium deposits but it's the wait that is the longest. Keep your chin up Les, I know what you are going through, my husband went through the same....and he never wants to go through those few...
