Hello Bee Jay, I was sent an enquiry from our Local History Group as Welwyndale Road is considered to be 'my' end of Sutton. I have found that most of the information available on line is with regard to the Bomb Disposal Unit. I have several things deal with at the moment but I have added...

Many Happy Returns Viv, Graham & Penny xx

Thanks Radiorails.

Thank you Pedro. Brilliant. I thought it looked like a chemists and this gives a really good picture of what there was in that block. Mom had a tweed suit from 'Laurette' before I was born so thinking of the photo it must have been much like this at that time. Just noticed the buildings between...

This image is a scan of a photocopy of a photo taken I believe late 50's/early 60's. I think it was probably done around the time that development was taking place at the Lyndhurst Estate as there are several taken of the original houses on that land which are similar. I' sure one of our vehicle...

Sorry folks, I hadn't realised that the 'dot' on the map showing the location hadn't carried over from the internet! Also, my initial thought was that she was employed at the building as mentioned above.

Presbytery is a building in Birmingham, England which is located on Prestbury Road. Presbytery is situated nearby to Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Saint Margaret Mary Abassque, as well as near The Mount Beulah Apostolic Church. Information from mapcarta.

Crumbs Viv! Last time we went it was £12 and there was nobody to talk to about the history.

Lovely pictures Lyn. Those huge balloons always make me laugh. I had to drive up to Chester with one in the back of my little car. I thought I'd trapped it in a black bin bag but it escaped and floated in the way of my mirror! Time goes so quickly and we don't get to see our little ones enough.

We sat in a similar place when we visited the pool last year. Must look out the photo and see if it was the same bench!

This is a photo of me and my brother. He'll be 80 soon and I'd like to send him a copy but it's in a bad way. Any help would be greatly appreciated please. Many thanks, Penny

Happy Christmas to everyone and a really good 2025.

Thanks Pedrocut, that seems much more likely. Also, the flags would have been for Edward VII's coronation wouldn't they? August 1902 - so typical English summer weather. Good picture.

Smashing picture Post #62 Lyn. I wonder where it was - I can't place it at the moment.

Hi Efja_Joan, although no oral history to help you with, there are quite a few threads on this forum which mention St Pauls Square (I didn't put the ' in the search box) at the top right hand corner of the page. There may be something there or someone to contact. I worked in Cox Street in the...

This is a follow-on from my post #652 of 28th April 2022. I have finally got round to looking at the Bell & Cuckoo in Erdington. From a visit to Birmingham Archives I have discovered that the land was sold in 1866 and from reading 'Coaching City' by Howard Clayton (about Lichfield) the most...

Thank you everyone. All a real improvement. Can really see his features now.

One family I was tracing answered most questions differently to previous censuses and 'don't know' in the 'where born' column. I realised after a while that the parents were probably out and the children has answered the enumerator's questions.

I realise a magic wand may be needed with this one but can anyone enhance/sharpen this picture from a newspaper please?

There's a really atmospheric picture at the bottom of the page(see above) of a tram in the rain outside the Picture House in High Street. Just before the trams were re-routed via Sutton New Road I imagine.
