It's going Alf but I'm sure we will get more, it was -11C today but the sun was lovely. We can't expect much warm weather before May even then it can get cold. But we have great summers. I was skating indoors this afternoon but a friend who was there had been skating on the lake near her house...

From the seat in front of the computer, I can see half of the garden. In a few months there will be green grass and flowers.:)Mo

Nice Wendy, she had really nice shoes.:) Mo

This was my mom and dad Arthur Noel Wigley and Gladys Smith married at St James Church, Handsworth 1923. This photo is in dad's parents garden 76 Victoria Road, Handsworth.

Mike - I see Victoria Road, Handsworth is on the map, my grandparents lived there and I wondered how old the houses were as I had a problem looking them up on the census at that time and before. Mo

Wendy, at last I found one. I think the show was called a 'Gardeners Dream' I think you posted one of this show earlier.:) I don't remember Mr Butcher having a problem with us wearing short skirts but we were quite young and did figure skating. :) Mo

I've book marked your Care2. Alf. Have a good weekend. Mo

Thanks Tom, they don't say much about the celebrations. I was hoping they might have an archives with old photos.:)Mo

I'm quite surprised no one has come up with anything on St Andrews 100th Anniversary. Has it not been promoted around Handsworth. :rolleyes: Mo

Wendy, I look forward to seeing more photos of you when your were young. I still haven't found mine but I know I will and then I will post them. I don't recognize you and your friends on that photo. Mind you it is nearly 45 years since I was last at Springhill so I may have forgotten.:rolleyes: MO

Put your sound on and if this works you will love it. :)Mo Didn't work :cry: It is on power point any suggestions, I'm sure I have got them to down load before.

Well done Patty giving up smoking. The photos are lovely. It is so common for families to be split by a few thousand miles these days. As you know Jenny and and I both have our kids in Asia. But as you say the internet brings us so close. :) Graham, does that mean you will be a great,great...

Hi Ann - I'm pleased you looked at my web site, I have to do some work on it but I don't know where the time goes. There were several doctors on Church Lane, she must have worked for one just past Hinstock Road going away from Grove Lane. Those houses would have backed onto Handsworth Park. I...

Welcome to all the new member. I would hate to miss anyone so I hope you all pop by here soon. Have fun.:0431: Mo:)

Hi Ann - welcome to the site. I grew up in Handsworth quite a way from you. The forum makes you realise what a huge number of communities make up Birmingham and there was something special about them all and probably still is. Where do you live now? What an amazing life your father must have...

Love to see it Jean, where do you live? You can email that if you want to.:) Mo
