My Wifes Great uncle died in Selly Oak Hospital in 1944 and is in a CWGC grave at Yardley......in amongst " ordinary" graves. I think they visit them now and then making sure they are presentable. We had put a message on the grave and it was gone next time we visited and since then I have read...

Not quite Duddeston Mill Road but travelled on the train to Hamstead yesterday and the view of Duddestons station trackside is awful.....neglected and overgrown........and just up the line the mega HS2 spending billions.

Its OK thanks......kind of you to offer.

Thanks Carole for finding that out. She must have had a very hard life....after marrying in 37 she and Frederick had 2 children during the war when he was away.In 1941 both children died within days of each other. I think Violet had family in Shirley place so hopefully she was helped a lot...

Great thread....just read the lot...Phew. Interested as the Wife's Mother used to say about an Uncle who was a Boxer but I havent been able to find anything about one. She was born in 1923 and family names were Butcher and Bayley - all around Ladywood and Digbeth/Balsall Heath/Small Heath.

Yes that was my point....how did this cost millions and the before would probably have looked better....lol

£30+Million for this....saw it a few months ago and thought maybe they could have done the ststion up for the games whiole they were there........looks like a scrap yard.......

I have the £13.99 option but wondered if I saved up my Newspaper searches I could visit Main Library in Brum once a month if it allowed access.
