    IN OUR GARDEN 2023

    Free courses in Birmingham and Surrounding Areas?

    Yes, I've had lots of help from the forum. Means a lot to me because I didn't grow up in Birmingham, I have no connections. So to meet up with the forum and be able to contact Brummies is something special to me. I'm just looking for things to do and meet new people, It's good to try new...

    Warstone Lane, Key Hill Cemetery meeting on Sunday 8th October 2023.

    Yes, I learned of the life of Baskerville today. I was astounded to learn that in today's day and age he has no final resting place. I know he wanted to be buried in unconsecrated ground, so his burial on his own land made sense. But with his prominence in Birmingham history as it is, it's...
