Thanks all for the very useful info on Brewery Street. I think I will go along with Master Brummie. The street I am looking for was around in 1867 so it looks as tho the name change to Adam St. fits the bill. Seasons Greetings to you all. May 2010 be a great one for Birmingham History Forum.

Hi Jim Not sure about top end of Heneage St. Kens father served in WW2. When he was demobbed, about 1946, he became a milkman. Your mom might have been a customer,his name was Wal Knowles. Will ask Ken when next I speak to him. Les

Hi Kermia Will ask Cousin Ken if he remembers Charlie Hirons. About the Clock Tavern was that near the cinema on Ashted Row? Lesg128

Well done Bazz These pictures remind me of how Loxton street was laid out, the playground is clearly visible. Les

Hi Jim I see Adams St. crossed Heneage St. I have a cousin whose Mom and Dad lived there. Name is Ken Knowles. My sister got married at (I think) St. Mathews which was on Heneage St. Maybe your local church. Yes the Bosch were not very good bomb aimers in my case they were after the railway...

Hi Jim Got a look at your school cert. Very impressive. I can't remember mine,but no doubt it would have been below this standard. Groves was my favourite too. Can't remember much about the others. We moved house to Cathcart Street, nr. Duddeston Mill Road after being bombed out of our abode in...

Thanks Big Gee The Express and Star report is very interesting!! Also Polly Kettle where did you get all that info? However I am committed to sometime between 1935 to 1936. The only thing I can come up with is the Hindenburg built around that time which Hitler was using for propaganda...

Thanks Lloyd It was encouraging to hear that it is possible that my recollections of an Airship over Birmingham may have been reality and not a dream. Also Cookie273uk I saw the hangars at Cardington from a hill near Bedford it must have been about 6 or 7 miles away and they looked massive.
