Mike, No worries on the number :) Phil, Thanks for the confirmation :)

Thanks Mike :) I tried to work it out, but it is difficult indeed. The 1900 kelly's make it confusing for me because it lists 6 after Montpellier Place then 11, 13, 14, and 23 which kind of looks as if 13 is in the middle but later kellys only lists 6, 11 and 13 which makes it look like its the...

Thanks again berniew, most appreciated :)

Hi Westwitch, Only to happy to help :) and pleased that you have found photos that are of interest to you...The photo's and memories that are posted on the site are a constant source of amazement to me and they are posted by folk that are a lot more knowledgeable about Birmingham than I am.. I...

Hi berniew, Thank you so much for all the links, that first map is great !! I have seen and used the 1890 one before. I watched the video..!! My partner lived in Bolton Road for a short time in the 60's mhemery, I can only tell you that Carrington Road is on a map from 1904.

Hi Westwitch, I have found some more information which I believe is for your Leonard George. which hopefully will help you to establish his later whereabouts. The Midlands and Various UK Trade Directories 1770-1941 on Ancestry have the following. 1912, Leonard George Pillinger, Wagon and Horses...

Ps, you have some fantastic photos on that link !!!

Hi Morturn, How interesting !! I have never seen anything like your object before but there is quite a lot of info on google about mortsafes and images too. That one looks small, maybe for a childs grave ?? I do hope someone can answer your question.

Thanks for the confirmation Stars.. Hopefully someone will know about the 3rd photo. Im good thanks :) ... hope you and yours are keeping well too

Thanks Stars, I love the caption under the photo !! And Thanks berniew for the Parliament Road one :) The lovely young lady in the photo I imagine is a relative of yours ?? I was just looking at a couple of maps for Arthur Street in different years and I see that Arthur Street started life as...

Hi mhemery, Thank you so much for posting that fantastic photo, I have not seen that one before. When enlarged it shows wonderful details. I am not well practised in dating photos, but thinking about a family wedding photo that I have, I'm guessing it was early 1900's, maybe 1900 to 1910 ?? I...

Hi mhemery, thanks for posting the cinema photo, I remember it well from frequent bus journeys from Sheldon into town to catch the 144 from the Bus Station out to Rubery to visit my Grandparents, with my Mom and Brother...the bus journey used to take forever !!!

Many Many Thanks Stars and berniew for those wonderful photos :) I believe the Coronation one replaces Astoness's missing photo at post #26..Just Posties to go now :) Stars would your first photo be just passed Arthur Street looking towards Herbert Road with the Greenway Pub on the corner of...

Hi Folks, thought I would do a little delving for this thread, hope you don't mind. I remember the house on the corner, which I believe became a Neighbourhood Office and was later boarded up. I also used to pass by on the number 11 in the late 70's after I had left school and started my second...

Thank you for posting those great photos mhemery and thank you beamish for your repost which I believe went with posts #2, 3 and 6. My Gt Gt grandparents, Albert and Mary Taylor lived at 4 Bk 48 Arthur Street in 1881 with their sons, Albert, Frank Frederick (my Gt Grandfather), Arthur and...

I thought it might not be the right place Mike as the initial enquiry was for The Wagon, but if you think its ok I will :) 1. Shows the position of the Prince Arthur in 1889 on Arthur Street 2. Shows the position of the Regents Park on the corner of Herbert Street where it met the Coventry...

Thanks for finding the info for Westwitch Mike, you are much quicker than me :) Ive just found both the Prince Arthur and Regents Park clearly marked on maps from 1889 but I need to find the appropriate threads to post them..any suggestions ?

Hi all, would anyone be able to repost some of the photos on this thread please

Hi Westwitch, Welcome to the BHF from me :) Your post about The Wagon is in just the right place. I'm sorry to say I don't have any earlier information about the pub at the moment apart from the fact that it is said that the pub dated "from 1627 and that from the 1870's it also had Tea and...

Hi Claire, The 1911 image on Find My Past shows the Infirmity Column at the end which isn't visible on the Ancestry one. Isaac is recorded as an Imbecile and linking that with the "at Rubery" got me thinking that maybe he was a patient at Rubery Hill. I have found Rubery Hill, which wasn't easy...
