Hi all I have been trying to find the website for burial listings at Lodge Hill. I'm sure I have been on the site before, but I can't remember where I looked.

I remember seeing a board on the pub advertising the lease but I can't remember who was offering the lease, does anyone know?

Hi all I have found the name James Turner as being the owner of a dwelling my family rented in Winson Green Road in 1913. It came as quite a surprise as I have heard of James Turner Street and I have heard of the programme associated with the street, but I haven't watched it. I have looked...

I didn't see anything relating to the pub on the walls. I didn't get the impression that the landlord was there either. I might phone the pub and ask to speak to the landlord to ask about the pubs history and any pics etc. I can go back to the pub if necessary. Sorry I haven't got anything...

I'm going to the Prince of Wales pub today for the first time! Since starting this thread I have found from the electoral register that my Great Grandparents lived next door to the pub 1921 - 1930 (as far as I can see)! As suggested, I will try and speak to he publican to see if they have any...

Thanks for all of your suggestions etc, pjmburns and pedrocut. I did a bit of Google but none of pjmburns suggestions came up. I will check them out. It's the usual more heads are better than one (when a search is required), and it's proven me right. I will be dead chuffed if I can find...

Hi all I have found a listing for a descendant at the Punch Bowl Inn in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1857. I would like to find out more about the pub, does anyone know of any web sites I could look at to try and find more information? Thanks

But that's great Mikejee, it's a look at what the streets were like around the time that my family were there, and it's always interesting to see the maps anyway. Thanks for looking and for attaching the map of 1889.

Thanks Mikejee, I will look forward to seeing the map. They get quite addictive these maps!

Oh, I see. Thanks Lyn. I wonder if I could get a map showing me where it is?

Hi all Could anyone explain to me the meaning of the address 4 house, 1 Court? My family are registered there on the 1881 census.

I thought the Siberian thing today cookie. Glad that your neighbour cleared your drive for you. Regards to yourself and Toby

Nice reading people's memories. I used to catch 4 buses a day to work. It's like a job in itself. People in cars used to think you were mad when you turned up to work wrapped up with a golf umbrella, but it's what was necessary to keep warm and dry. Oh it's not that bad is what I heard over and...

Hi all I've had enough of the snow now. It's very pretty, but too disruptive and dangerous.

No info yet on Lionel, but I have contacted gaybirmingham remembered. Hopefully I will have some news soon.

Hi all I have listings for 23 1/2 Longmore St and 65 1/2. Would these properties have been residential or business? 1908 for 23 1/1 and 1913 and 1915 for 65 1/2. One is listed as a shoeing smith and one as a shoeing forge. Thank you, Kat

Ok, thanks Lyn, I did forget about the search. To reply to this post may just be repeating what is already on the forum, I understand, thanks.

The pic in #103 shows what the police would have looked like at the time my family were in Birmingham. Thanks Vivienne

Hi all What pics of Broad Street are available? I'm wondering if there are any around the 1912 period? Number 316 is of interest as the Starwbridges have a listing in the Kelly's directory in 1912. 316 is right where the statue of the golden boys stands, or where the old registry office once...

Ok, thanks Mikejee, but great to see where the back of the houses were in relation to St Martin's Row.
