I realise now that the old Ringers was not where I thought it was, but was in the car park of the "new" pub.

I was in the chorus of the Ugly Duckling production - that is if it was the same one. Written by Mr. Tennant? (Every little duck must learn to quack, there is nothing easier than that...........)

My next query is - Does anyone know where The Limes in Church Road was situated? I have looked at both the 1901 and 1911 census and The Limes is entered next door to the Ring of Bells. I thought that maybe The Limes was what became the Carmelite Monastery (this was in between the old and the...

If you have a look at the Saltley & Alum Rock you should find a photograph that was taken from the tower of the church. It shows the flats I used to live in and you can also see some of the graveyard too. If you cannot find it let me know as I do have it somewhere and I will see if I can...

There is quite a few replies on Alum Rock Road and also a picture of The Rock pub when it was closed and boarded up. Also a little bit of history. If you search for The Rock Public House, alum Rock Road you will find someone somewhere.

No it was his Grandmother's maiden name, not his mother's. Your john's mother was Emma Tracey. I do not live in Birmingham now, but I think you may find a headstone for Derek, although you may have a job as it is a pretty bag place (or was). I wonder if there is a plan and transcription of any...

I know St Saviours very well as I used to live opposite the church in Ash Road. We used to play in the churchyard when we were young, go through a gap in the broken cast iron railings.

I read that Martin Billings was in The Shrubbery in 1858. Also I have seen The Causeway too so I think that was the name before Church Road. I suppose it was originally just a dirt track. The original village would have been up where the Church is now with just a few cottages along the road...

All this info is great. I still can't get any further back that the 1881 census but that's OK at the moment. I am just interested in the house itself so having the names of residents over the years will fill in a few gaps. Still would like to know who actually owned it when it was built, so I...

The picture I just posted is of Church Road, Yardley almost at the junction of Yew Tree Lane. (I think) before the shops in Church Road were built on the garden of The Shrubbery You can see the Shrubbery roof and also in front, the Shrubbery Cottages. I am sure the bus stop is still there in the...
