    The Punch Bowl Kingshurst

    Sadly now permanently closed, I'm informed. I assume it was built in late 1950s or later? Anyone remember names of landlords? I recall Des Sydenham during the 80s. Was a decent popular pub if I recall being a local. Sadly not a pub in Kingshurst. Toby Jug, borderline. Thanks.

    Alfred Davis

    Unfortunately, I think you could be correct. It is a public grave. Thank you MWS. Why originally told he had a grave, no idea. Didn't spot that, so more than likely. Strange because he was a Master Barber. Had 3 barbers shop In Brum. Things do go wrong. Only just obtained my grandfather's and gt...

    Alfred Davis

    Hope someone can advise. Don't think it's research. Alfred Davis died 1907. Second entry down. I'm researching my gt grandfathers place of rest. With your help, it was Yardley. However I recall phoning Yardley Cemetery twice. I was given 2 different answers. He had a gravestone, told by one...

    Kingshurst Shopping Parade

    Thank you, I remember PO now was divided in two as a shoe shop. The bank I've been told was up until recently used by Hadfield opticians. Wow he must be getting on as I recall the name. I've been told the parade finally has been flattened. Must be 10 yrs of promises. Obviously Solihull Council...

    Kingshurst Shopping Parade

    Trying to work my round of shops in late 60s and 70s. A family member also remembers a electrical shop. Tvs and repairs etc. We think it was the only local place to buy records. I'm sure I can recall seeing a weekly top 40 in the shop. Cannot recall the name. Remember Fosters on the corner...

    Yeep remember the collector rd been put in, race track. Remember the m42 being built by Kingsbury water park. Even Coleshill isn't what it was. We have at least the good memories. Like our ancestors we move on. They struggled in back to back houses. But most were happy and close families. If I...

    Well, I have family living in Chelmsley Wood. Stilly trying to escape. You either love it or hate it. Was built as an overspill area think 60s. Recall it being built, used to be fields full of bluebells. Kingshurst I believe is maybe having a new shopping centre. Dragged on for years, that was...
