MIL would like to know who you are! See if she remember's your family. Would you send me a private message and let me know your name?

I see now. I know the Yew Tree very well (used to live off Church Road and mother in law has lived at the back of "Woolworths" for 60 years!), but not that bit of Stoney Lane, never had much reason to go down that way.

I have been given a DVD entitled Another Look at Birmingham's Trams and Buses. It was issued in co-operation with the Birmingham Historical Transport Group. The cover shows a picture and the caption reads Cars 682 and 657 at Pype Hayes Terminus on 7th March 1953. Does anyone want it? Send a...

Where was the Co-op on Stoney Lane? I know the Co-op next to the pub (which was the Yew Tree) but I don't remember it being in any other location.

I lived in the flats at 55 Ash Road. They were built around 1950 and then demolished in the 70s I think. There were 3 blocks in all, numbers 55, 53 and 51. I worked at Mrs. Cutts, the grocer down the bottom of Ash Road, not too far from the junction with Adderley Rd.

If we do have the right Arthur, his is listed on the 1861 census too with his wife Ann (e) and three children.

Sorry but I got that date wrong. He was actually born on the 11 March 1825, baptised on the 9 August 1825. Married Ann Jones Bird on the 8 July 1852

Forgot to say on the 1851 census Arthur was a Clerk in the Iron Trade.

Arthur was baptised on the 11th March 1825 in St. Phillips. The 1851 census shows him living with his parents William and Mary - plus brothers George, Arthur, Edmund and Charles and sister Julie. The address was Hagley Road and his father was a Hardware Merchant. So Arthur was still in the UK...

Dr Patel was out doctor from when we moved to Ash Road in about 1955. he was a lovely man and looked after us all very well. I remember the surgery, yes and the front room of the house which was the waiting room. No appointments, just get there early and sit and wait your turn! We moved to...

I don't remember a school next to the Rock picture House, but I do know Mr. Hinks. He was at Adderley Junior School. He used to take the "top class" which was housed in the room with the fire escape upstairs. Our nature walks consisted of a walk around the streets of Saltley collecting...

The school I went to was called Adderley Infants, the back entrance was in Adderley Road but the front was in St. saviours Road. I think it is called St. Savious School now isn't it? The juniors was on the corner of Adderley and Arden Roads. I started school about 1956 in the Infants and then...

I have been given a DVD entitled Another Look at Birmingham's Trams and Buses issued by the Birmingham Historical Transport Group. If anyone would like it please let me know by private message and I will mail it out. Sue

Karen - Did Dr. Jones take over from Dr. Patel who retired and moved to Blackpool? Dr. Patel was our doctor for years(we lived in Ash Road) then a Dr. Jones took over. It must be the same one.

I started work in January 1967 at a solicitors office in Fountain Court, Steelhouse lane. I worked there for about 5 years. As I was the Office Junior I had to deliver and pick up documents from both the Law Court and the County Court so I walked many times up Newton Street to the courts in...

A friend of mine lives on the Moor Pool estate in Harborne. The estate was the idea of John Nettlefold. I visited Winterbourne House some time ago. Well worth the visit. (My father in law worked for a company called Brook Tool Automation which, I think, was eventually bought out by GKN.)...

I have the Electoral Roll for 1955 when my mom and dad lived in Stretton Grove with nan. The Harris's lived at number 9. At that time number 5 was occupied by Ernest and Ivy Thomas. My brother used to play with their son when we went to visit. My nan lived at number 3 and next door was Mr...

If he was from Birmingham then perhaps you could look in the archive of the local papers. Sure if it was mentioned in the nationals it would perhaps give more details in the locals.
