Thanks for the info.on the open day, interesting about Roger de Birmingham too. Getting quite spooky (good spooky) all of the historic details coming my way!

Thanks for the links Derek, I'll have a look. Hmmm, yes, I can imagine they were 'dangerous' times, good choice of wording. When you think of how we live today, it's got to be luxurious compared with older times.

Interesting points raised Stokie about the doubts of the other two historians and I can see if its not documented, then is it true? I have appx 171 members in my family tree, all of which are linked by birth, death, or marriage certs. So I can see the importance of the recordings proving...

Knoghts Templar graves have been discovered by a historian, Edward Dyas. Very interesting to learn about how history can be forgotten. Amazing to think that history can be right here in front of us yet we don't recognise it! Experts claim 'many more' Knights Templar graves could be hidden...

Nothing came up for my search that pinpoints anything.

Not done much of my hobby lately, crochet! I have a bag planned, already have the cord.

There is a map that shows the location of the postboxes. My geography of Birmingham is not great, sorry to admit. What could be the most central postbox in Birmingham, what is actual center of the City Centre?

I'm now wondering if there are any post box toppers in Birmingham? My next trip to Birmingham is going to require me stopping for lunch, I'll be parking up to take so many pics of postboxes!!!!!

Oh my goodness, that's really excellent. If you could ask around or ask at the post office, I'd love to see if they have a blog. I'm into crochet and knitting. Thank you for posting that too.
