Nice one Wales, i remember having this dicussion the other day and something to do with where one place met another but couldn't be sure so didn't post the theory, but that article backs it up, phew lol

I put some on our parents parents page 21 i think or just after, some of the pics i posted i only got this year after much bullying of mom and nan lol I am hoping to get more copies soon when i visit my Nan, she's digging out all her old stuff My mom found a very old victorian one the other day...

It sure does, my Aunt bless her lived to 96, she died 7 years ago now, she never had children of her own and she loved my kids to bits, so it's great finding a picture of where she was married.. my Nan has a big framed pic of her and her husband in the doorway leaving the church, I wish the...

I know what you mean, but you never know someone from that street may join up here and you may get your answers, but i'd say good chance they are still in that road, even tho the house is replaced

Well three people can't have all imagined it Wales.

It could be Wales, i think as a child you are more innocent and open to things, be great to find out who it was tho, wonder if anyone living there before/after had that experience too, more then likely they would have

Ewwwww nick rather you then me lol Yeah i'd say the workmate was responsible.... Wales of couse we don't think you're mad, and you and your mom both seeing this figure but not saying, bet she was relieved when she found out you'd seen it, real weight off her mind i bet

Thanks for that mike i wasn't sure as there were a few in Birmingham then, my second thought was maybe it was the Steelhouse lane one (now the Childrens Hospital) but i'll check that link and see what i can find out, more then likely her grave wont be marked :( but i can get her death...

Thanks, I thought so Lloyd, i was trying to picture it from the Bromford, i was sure you had star city, then at the back of the flyover was Fort Dunlop, it had that netting over it for years, not seen it for a few years so not sure if it's completed now

Wow great news Wendy, i've got everything crossed for you :)

Does anyone know what workhouse, i assume summer lane was called Birmingham Workhouse? My Gt Gt Aunt was in there in 1901 she died not long after, she is listed as patient in the Birmingham Workhouse Infirmary... would anyone know if it would be the Summer Lane one or a different one, i have...

It was personal allright, i'd love to know what was there previously, a friend said Fort Dunlop, but i'm sure that's been turned into something else.

Have sent Wendy the address just to keep everyone updated, i'm sure Wendy will fill us in on her findings :) Best of luck Wendy!

Nicholas, well so much for thinking that would solve the problem.. obviously i have been watching too much fictional TV lol Most of rover is gone now, not sure if the tunnels survive but i saw that they plan to build a new 'mini city' there, be a shame if they destroy it as it goes back to the...

Amazing stuff Winston, spooky tho .... i had heard they had tunnels there, something to do with the war as they made Aircraft there, but i'm not 100% on that, maybe you know more.. i'll check out that link, looks very interesting

How do you think i feel it was aiming at my head !! I couldn't believe it, place was empty nearly and there was no one in the lanes either side of us, infact only people were 3 lanes up so it wasn't anything to do with them playing tricks.. i saw it out of the corner of my eye and moved my head...

Harborne, I know if i was a Ghost i wouldn't just to annoy them rofl It is all a bit dramatic sometimes isn't it, i've seen my Family, altho didn't know at the time they were Family as i didn't remember them as i was young or they passed before my birth, there's a lot of things happen that can't...
