Thank you everyone who has contributed to this thread. It is great to see photographs of where my Dad lived and hear people's memories. Carolann

Thank you. I think I prefer the street as it was!

What a brilliant story. Thank you. I only wish my Dad was still alive so that I could tell him. Thank you

Thank you. I will look that up.

Any idea when?

Many thanks for both for the photograph and map and the electoral roll entry. My Dad as not 21 until 1951 so would not have been eligible to vote. I now know that I have remembered the correct pub name. Does anyone remember the pub? What happened to it? I know that there was a piece in the...

Harold Davies and Marie Davies. My Dad's name was John and he had an older brother called Robert

I have got a Turners Arms from the History pub directory at 108 Turner St B11 it seems from a map to be near Ladypool road? I am looking to find it because I think my Dad's parents ran it and he ran it with his Mother for a while, If I have remembered the pub name!

Does anyone know of a post war pub called the Turner's Arms? It may have closed in the 50's or 60's and/or was run as an outdoor. Not really sure which part of Birmingham but there is one recorded in Turner Street

Whilst researching my family history I found that my Great Grandfather Bernard Hope lived with his Wife, 2 daughters and 4 other family members at this address in 1901. He was a fried fish dealer. On looking up the address now I see that it is a Pizza and kebab shop! Does this mean that the...

Thanks for the video. It brought it all back to me. Are there any other ex students from Birmingham College of Food with memories of their time there?

I was one of the first groups of students at the new building in Summer Row when it opened in 1967. I have mentioned the paternoster lifts in another thread but wondered if any other past students remembered them. Someone has mentioned that they had them at Aston University. They were quite...

Does anyone remember the" Pater Noster" Lifts?

I was one of the first group of students to attend the new building of Birmingham College of Food and Domestic Arts in Summer Row when it opened in 1967. I remember The Duke of Edinburgh at its Official opening sometime in the Autumn of that year. We had to line the corridors in our Catering whites.

Thank you so much for your time. It seems from my research that my G Grandfather Bernard Hope split away from the family and joined the Royal Artillery in 1885. It would be really interesting to piece all this together. There seems to be a jewellery link on both sides of my maternal line but no...

Thank you so much for this. I am hoping that this is the correct family link. I am really appreciative of you research and info about German silver. The other thing is how do I research wills and probate? I am using Find My Past but have not come across this information. How did you find out...

Thank you. Still, at least I have seen a photograph now. It would be interesting to know when it became a public house, we know it was before 1891.

I have been trying to find out what a German silver spoon maker was. My GG Grandfather is on the 1861 census as one. He is on the 1851 census as a spoon maker. other males in the family are spoon makers or jewellers. They lived in Hockley and then Hylton St, there surname was Hope. I am assuming...

I am pleased to have found the site. I am not too sure how to use it though.
