I think there are some in Four Oaks, Harland Road springs to mind. Probably some on Falcon Lodge too.

Very interesting story and portrait gentlemen. I've never heard of him so it was good to read something new. Well done.

Well Done Dave! Excellent as ever. Penny

This sounds really interesting and I'll be listening to the podcast this evening.

Many Happy Returns Mike - and thanks for all the help you've given me and everyone else over the years! Penny

Well done Lyn. Thank you for organising the meet-up - a lot of hard work on your part. You must let us help with the raffle draw next year and give your poor knees a rest. You must have been standing for most of the time!

Smashing photos Janice, thanks for taking them. It was lovely to see everyone yesterday and we're looking forward to the next one.

I have a signed copy of Issue 1 and a signed copy of Issue 22, plus a copy of Issue 21 if anyone would like them. I'll be taking them to the Easter meet-up otherwise.

Thank you Steward15, unfortunately it seems you have to pay for a subscription for three months.

Thank you Steward15, unfortunately you have to have a subscription to read the whole article.

Good question Janice but it definitely is Sarah Guppy. Graham came across her some years ago whilst doing some research I think at Bath University. Does anyone have access to the newspaper archive which includes 30th May 2016 Telegraph mentioned in the first post please? I'd love to read the...

Yes Stokkie, that's what I meant - there are quite a few houses named Park View in Boldmere that can no longer see Sutton park as the area is very built-up now. Do we know exactly where the property is yet? I must re-read the thread and get my dates right. Several posts came up after I'd...

Just wondering if William Smith's house once had sight of the cathedral (built 1715) - there is a recently re-gilded boar's head on top of the weather vane.

Congratulations Viv! Penny

It's all down to cash and lax rules as far as I can tell. The water companies are owned by shareholders who only care about profits (which are huge). It's got so bad that I won't eat river fish any more. The companies have permission to discharge their overflow tanks in heavy rain but many...

A little off topic but it illustrates how small errors can occur - I see that Bob Brettle appears as 'Bettle'. Lots of names I recognise. I think it was when I was researching 'Victoria Hall' and a benefit match held there in the late 1800's that I first came across The Raquet/Rackett Court...

I'll see if I can find anything Thomas - all my records then were kept in files rather than one a PC so I'm not sure I still have them but I will look and let you know.

Thank you for all the comments above and yes, I have sadly found several errors in this sort of book, some of which are glaringly obvious but everybody makes mistakes, me included. I tend to use them as a starting point to be verified if I'm really interested by visiting the Archives here and...

We visited the store recently and I can definitely say it was an 'experience'!! They seem to have been cutting back on lightbulbs and heating upstairs and it was full of stuff for the gym etc. I found it quite depressing.

I went past the site of the station yesterday and work seems to be in progress. I was on the bus so couldn't take a picture.
