Hi Jerry, if the pictures are older ones, as you may have read on the banner on top of the forum, all our photos were hacked and removed from the site by some malicious person/people. While the members that posted them are trying to re-post them, there are some which were posted by members no...

Coincidentally I was talking to a patient - sorry, service user - in clinic earlier who used to be a drayman for Ansells - trying to explain what a drayman did and where Ansells was proved interesting for all of us, our consultant is really good,and has lived in the area for about 20 years, but...

Yes, they are closing the site to preserve the Hovis brand, by closing Garretts Green and concentrating on their other bakeries, it will stay viable - well thatws the spiel they are putting out anyway. As JennyAnn says, a sad time for Brum, but especially for the workers so close to Christmas...

I'm not sure but she went into politics, I think about the same time so maybe that was why? There are plans to open a new one in Newcastle, to be run by Rusties son. Sue

Rustys was great food and she was delightful - loud and happy, and fed us nurses til we couldn't move after we had nursed a family member of hers. Loved her place. Sue

Thanks for letting us know Tony, have to confess I didn't realise that is what the memorial in Cannon Hill was for - not been there many times, but had noticed it in passing, so I have learnt something today! sue

What a brilliant montage of pics Dave, thanks. Sue

Noooo it's not December yet lol!!! Have probably told you, we never had Xmas stuff up at home until after 14th, the reason being it wasn't fair for mom not to see her cards like the rest of us on our birthdays, only as I got older did I realise it was moms excuse to not have all the decs round...

Re: buriel look up please I thought it was a bit steep too Lynne, can see that they would want to raise money for the church, but it would put me off lol. Just a thought, have you looked at West Bromwich Cemetery, wouldn't that have been one of the areas Handsworth/Soho came under? Sue
