Looks like the site is now called the Connect Business Park. No sign of an original building at all along that side of Bordesley Green Road. I just looked on Google Maps. I was at school from 1963 - 67, but our neighbour worked at Hughes, in the late 50's early 60's

I remember the Ceylon Tea Centre too but I don't think I ever went in there. I used to work in Steelhouse Lane and live in Alum Rock, so often walked that way to get the nnumber 14 bus which was just around the corner in Corporation Street. I think the Old Square must have changed in the early...

Prana had a lovely gift shop. I have frog made of plaster I bought for my mom in the 1960's. The cafe used to sell the most amazing stewed apples with cream. My sister-in-law worked for the company that produced the tiles that decorated the walls in the cafe, they were a little odd, lots of...

Re: margaret matilda wadlow Born: 1870 in Aston Burney Lane could be Ward End, Stetchford or Alum Rock. It goes from Alum Rock Road to Stechford Lane. I used to live in Alum Rock. Maybe James Alexander died, or Margaret left him and changed her name when she met George. (My gran had 8...

Re: margaret matilda wadlow Born: 1870 in Aston I'm convinced that Margaret was married to James Alexander. Also had a child Violet Matilda Alexander in 1897 and possibly another child in 1888 (died 1945) called Emma Rosetta Wadlow
