    Dogs on the Metro

    I am and always have been a dog lover. I remember you could take your dog upstairs on Birmingham buses but I don't think it is a good idea. Not all people like dogs and some are even allergic to them so I can see there being problems.

    HS2 progress 2020 and beyond

    It will possibly be that I never live long enough to see a blinking train run past here but for years now and for years to come I have lived with the horrendous sight of the devastation all around where I live , trees axed down in their hundreds, and wildlife looking for new homes.

    Florence Manton Mystery - lived Woodman Inn & Witton Arms 1881 +

    I think there must have been a reason why these 2 people with religious beliefs didn't marry but had 2 children. I think Edward was aware of the situation and Florence obtained a divorce. They married in 1924 and the year previous it had been made possible for wives to divorce their husbands...

    Florence Manton Mystery - lived Woodman Inn & Witton Arms 1881 +

    Although nowadays it is unusual for a woman to move on without her children, it may be that the marriage was one of convenience , the marraige and birth took place in the same quarter (July/Aug'Sept )1901 , the child was born on August 22nd so that means they were married for only weeks before...
