I never knew where the Place in the country was but will ask if my brother remembers anything next time i see him.

Hi Devonjim......coming up from Roberts corner towards Hopwood there are 2 layby's. One each side of road. Micks Wood is opposite the one on the right side. Years ago it was just fields but planted out with various trees with I think a Euro grant. There was a sign saying Micks wood and also...

Section of Map published 1936 with Roberts Corner in centre. No sign of a Roberts Farm and the one where the feature is is Lanehouse Farm. Today the Redditch Road runs alongside Micks Wood ( to the left of road ) which is around 20 years old and owned by the family living along Canal at...

Dad lived for fishing and he joined the BAA and also took me and my Brother with him - both pleasure and contests. Most of the time we went to B'ham / Worc canal around Hopwood, Barnt Green, Withybed and further down to Tardebigge and Oddingley. Also to the Severn and Avon.Sometimes for a change...

NOT in BIRMINGHAM but while tracing ancestors (from over 100 years ago) in Rowney Green near Redditch we noted a few numbers and when we went to look all the village now have NO NUMBERS..... just made up names......gone from land workers cottages to posh places....lol

Yes but because Leah was on later voting lists people assumed this was the same one and I had to explain the one died and the other was born later.

On one 1911 census they have Leah as 8 ...but she was born 03 and died 04...it does say one dead child but everyone who went before ( and put her on their tree) didnt see this and listed her as alive.......I knew this couldnt be true as the parents named another girl Leah and I had met her and...

Born July 1952 at 44 Lordswood Road.Just amazed how many different hospitals people were born at as everyone lived in Kings Norton. Me at Lordswood,Wife at Loveday St,Daughter at Selly Oak and Son at Sorento....lol

All the employees from Pentagon Print went onto the roof at Bradford St/ Alcester St to see it.....one chap had a camera but these are the 1st shots I have seen from that day.....

Thanks...all looks different now on Google but still has houses there with what looks like same numbering. Better than most other addresses I have looked for which all went to factories.....have to have a tour around now and see the roundhouse.....surely the Grandad must have done some work there.

Thanks for that
