    Evey day at the two 'Visual Impaired schools' that I attended they gave us a table spoon of Cod liver Oil after lunch and we were asked if we had bowl movements, also I believe it was also done at the two 'Open Air Schools' where my sister went this was in the 1940's to 1960's.

    The brownie guide pack of birmingham

    Sandra after looking on my old map of the area it looks like it's the right place as we lived in Dymoke St and back then it was much longer than it is now, the part we lived in was demolished in the late 50's.

    The brownie guide pack of birmingham

    Sandra where in Highgate was St Pat's Hall? Because it was somewhere in Highgate that I went to Brownies in the 1950's and think it was around the Mosley Road area but could be wrong. If I know the location of St Patrick's Hall I could work out if it was there.

    The brownie guide pack of birmingham

    In Brownies I was in 'Little People' (wonder why? LOL) our badge was a funny little character in Yellow and Green strips and in Guides I was in 'The Robins ' again a very small bird. It's a wonder I don't have hang ups about being small LOL.

    Ghost Building Argyle St And Wharton Street

    I knew I'd read that there was a Mill in that area at one time, but could not remember where. I found this from a Heartlands news letter sent to me in 2008 . Hope this helps in some way and may answer some of the questions asked in this thread.
