Many thanks Mike, at least I can now pinpoint where it was. He was a boatman before running the pub (1841 census lists him as "Towing Path, Ladywood") and the bridge over the canal there was Tindal Bridge, so the position of the pub makes sense! Again ... many thanks.

The John Charlesworth mentioned was my great grandfather. He was running the Tindal Arms in 1851. Any idea where that would have been after re-numbering Mike? I think at the time it was 143 King Edwards Road (or thereabouts). Seems there were a fair few beer houses there in 1851!

Thankyou Dennis, I for one didn't realise Edith Holden was a Birmingham wench!

My 92 year old neighbour has the maiden name of Izzard (not a very usual name) and was looking forward to seeing it. She switched it off because of Eddie Izzard!

Since your photo was taken in 2009 Ell., there has been further development (yet another cafe I believe) which is obscuring the view of St. Martins even more. Yow! Why do they DO this? It takes a lot of work to get planning permission for a conservatory in your own garden, yet they can seem to...

Absolutely beautiful Eric .. please can you fix the raffle in my favour? (But don't tell anyone I asked). :excitement:

What a lovely photo Wendy. He certainly had well connected friends! If walls have ears I wish Highbury Hall could speak.

I'll take a look at those to add to my collection, thanks. I think the name of the shop is "The Works".

An awful time for you Patty, but I'm glad to hear you're getting your life back on track. Time and friends, the recipe for healing. Charlie x

Loads of thanks for that, I haven't been that way since my dad was in the fishing club at the Church Tavern and my aunt used to live in Brackenbury Road...and it's nice to let Youtube take the strain. PS DO hope you didn't have anything alcofrolic in the Church Tavern before driving off. No, of...

Well said Jimbo45 !

I know Lucas had a sports ground around there, maybe that's the one you're thinking of?

I wonder if he ever got his mortgage? Probably easier that trying Barclays anyway .. lol.

The new Worcester library (The Hive) is the same, all glass and concrete with a gold coloured roof. Still, it functions well as a library I s'pose.

Just didn't want you involved in a stewards inquiry Lyn. (Groan...)

Lyn: As far as I know Stuart Street is in Aston/Nechells. The street you'd be looking for in Ladywood would be Steward Street, off Spring Hill. Charlie x

Benson Road School, Handsworth?

Thanks for the info on "Dancing on the Edge" Dennis. I watched that last night and never realised it was filmed in this area (apart from the Severn Valley Railway). Will watch tonight with renewed interest!

Will you STOP posting these pictures Lyn? I just about manage to dry my eyes, and lo there's another one :blue: Me me me Wendy .. I shall be going in May for my fifth/sixth visit to Krakow, marvelling at the wonderful architecture there. Liverpool's another city that preserved many of their...

I remember 1963 quite well. We were married on a bright crisp November morning - the day after Kennedy was assassinated! Fortunately there wasn't a TV at the Hope and Anchor where we held the reception.
