Hi Di, I have looked on the family tree to do with the Lucy family of Charlecote, and there is none of their names on it, but that don't mean to say that they are not related, they most possibly are descendants of the Lucy family in some way or form. Sir Edmund Fairfax-Lucy is married to Lady...

I would have thought so, the Lucy family were rather large, and when you look in the archieves a member of the Lucy family crop up everywhere, somewhere I have the family tree of the Lucy family so I will have a look. The present mill and buildings was built by the Lucy estate, and is still...

Thanks Colin, I've been onto the Charlcote web site and downloaded what I wanted from there. Glad you liked Washford Mill, many moons ago I used to live down the road from there just by the hospital, is the glass floor still there? I have downloaded your photo, yes I know I'm cheeky, thanks once...

Brilliant Cromwell, why on earth they don't bring this type of history into schools is beyond me, I know if we had had this type of teaching we would have learnt alot more about our country and city, keep it up and well done to all the contributers. I keep learning things each day, might go and...

Thanks Colin, haven't got that one, have you any other info on it. Would Monyhull Hall by any chance be the same as MOUNDESLEY Hall, Kings Norton, if so this is what I have on that : "There was a mill at Moundsley in King's Norton probably on the upper reaches of the Chinn Brook, in the late...

Di has posted a census report in 1871 for James Baines, according to John's Kelly directory 1868 this gentleman had mills, or milled them, in Lancaster Street and Church Street. I have looked on a 1839 map of the city centre and can't see no mills in those streets, does anybody know anything...

Re: Think Tank Pictures Rod, did you by any chance get a picture of the mill part that is there ( this is how senile I'm going, I can't remember which part), found it, it's the engine of Wychall Mill :-\ :-\ We were going to go and take a look round Think Tank, but the step kids said it wasn't...

Colin map 1839 and 1945 both spell it without the E, I spell the way I say!                                                     :flower: :cat: I must be posh

Looking at the 1945 A-Z there is only an Edgebaston Road, but way back it may have been Edgebaston Lane, and I do have an Edgebaston Mill which was also known as Averns Mill, if this is the picture of that mill the site that it originally stood on became part of the premises of the Tally Ho...

Di that's brilliant, it's fantastic what you can do and find out on these computers, have downloaded the photo. Aston, I have found abit of information about the Castle Bromwich mill, I know where it once stood now, and Cromwell,(earlier in the post) provided a photo of the miller of Castle...

Thanks John, I'm beginning to put addresses to some of the mills now where I have just got the names :smitten: :flower: :cat:

I think that you are right there Di, just looked at 1945 map, and as you say it's way of, I already have names of 1841 pink pages for Snow Hill, a Thomas Smith was miller and was not born in the county. In a buisness directory for 1914 there is "Eagle Flour Mills, Snow Hill Passage", this may be...
