    Prince Of Wales Cambridge Street

    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...

    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.

    Weather : past adverse weather in Birmingham

    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...

    316 Broad Street, H Strawbridge, Haulier In 1912

    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...
