Re: nechells park rd shops Hi in exile, I dont think it was the one in Acocks Green as I worked down there and I don't remember there being any shops but it may have been the one in Balsall Heath as mentioned here...

Hi All, there was an Arthur Henry Gold at 103 Hospital Street, Stamper and Piercer in the 1913 kelly's, it was between New Summer Street and Tower Street, Prior to that in 1908 he was at 133 (back of) Hospital Street and at 103 was Charles Wivell, a japanner.

No picture I am sorry to say, but this is a map from 1916 showing where the old Chapel stood.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your thoughts and for looking..it is a strange one. I will look at it again later today.

Hi Folks, I just checked the census for my Great Grandad Frank Taylor, who was living in Arthur Street in 1881 with his parents Albert and Mary Ann and by 1891 they have moved to Smith Street, so it is great to see the wonderful photos on this thread. Just wondering if I can impose on you Mike...

Hi brummie nick, Of course I don't mind, its here for everyone to join in :) Hopefully Mike will confirm this,...The court that is by the blue square marking 48, on post #4, is court 10 on the 1889 map and I think court 8 is the one before where the small circle is on what looks to be the...

Many Thanks Jim and Hilary xx

Hi Mike, I have no doubt that your counting is correct and I hope you didnt think I was questioning it ?? That wasn't my intention at all. I was just confused by The Kelly's numbers.... I will stick with your positioning of 48 in my records.. :) berniew, Thanks for your post. I remembered where...

Hi Mike, Sorry for the late reply...Thank you for sorting that out for me, it is most appreciated as always. From your map, it looks as if most of the courtyards would have looked pretty much the same, so the photo of the back of 54 that I saw paints a great picture of the surroundings that my...

Here are a couple of photos from my Moms cousin's collection. The cousin's husband was in them Acocks Green Infants 1930 Acocks Green Infants 1932

Not to worry berniew, I have done as lyn suggested and posted in the Maps section, but thank you anyway.

Hi All, Having seen a great photo on the 'Courtyards and Yards of Brum' thread, of the courtyard behind 54 Arthur Street, I was wondering if 4 bk 48, would have been part of that courtyard (my Great Grandad lived at 4 bk 48 in 1881) However, on checking the census, I feel that given the amount...

Thanks lyn, will do :)

berniew, I've just spotted this photo and I got all excited !!! (it's ok, I've calmed down now ) I referred back to my records thinking this could very well have been the place where my Great Grandad lived in 1881, but on checking the census he was at 4 bk of 48 and there were a lot of back...

Hi Dennis, Thanks for posting those photos..I have seen the Yardley Old Village photo quite a few times and often wondered where about it was. I was curious to know what the first building looked like so I had a look on googlemaps from the opposite end to that view...as you said,it has hardly...

Yes Lyn, according to the 1940 kelly's The Emily Arms was at 45 Emily Street,(a Beer Retailers only) run by William Peakes.

Thank's Bikeral72, I will investigate.

My Mom moved house recently and during the process of sorting out all her worldly goods, she handed me a rather battered looking 78 record and asked if I would like it. On taking it out of its sleeve I discovered it was a recording of Mom's wedding ceremony from 1956. I never knew that she had...

Hi Astonian, I wasnt telling you off, honest !! I am not sure if I have understood your post correctly, but The Rainbow on the corner of Adderley Street was a few streets away from Milk Street. The roads heading towards Camp Hill are Milk Street, Floodgate Street, Gibb Street, Heath Mill Lane...

Hi Astonian, The Rainbow is on the corner of Adderley Street I believe.
