Re: the peaky blinders Same here Eric, my Great Grandfather was Harry Fowler but he was born in 1886, not 1885. That was close!

Yes, but the trailer had loads more music than dialogue. What I heard sounded OK though.

Re: Bhf summer meet up (plus a chance to meet sarunte43) Another enjoyable meeting at my favourite Birmingham pub. It was great to meet our Canadian friends and I wish them a safe journey home next week. Met and spoke with the usual vagrants! Even managed to win 2 prizes! How weird is that...

Here's a pic I posted before but can't remember the thread! It's one of my ancestors (according to Ancestry he is the "paternal grandfather of husband of my aunt"!) who was a member of the fishing club at The Royal Britannia Pub, Park Lane, Aston. The group represent the fishing, kennel and air...

Great! Bought it on an LP years ago (other side has Fantasia on Greensleves) and have copied it to my iTunes folder on my computer. Along with a nice bit of Ska!:excitement:

So sorry to hear this sad news Lyn. Sincere condolences to all the family. David xx

My Uncle's father, George Leslie Bullock, lived in Roughley in the early 1900s. On the 1911 census, his father, Richard, is shown as a Farmer and an Employer at Roughley Farm, Roughley, Sutton Coldfield. I can't find them on the 1901 census but on the 1891 census there address is just shown as...

Cheers both, sterling work!

I drove past it this morning and was underwhelmed. Might have been better if I'd parked and went to see it.

3 more photos. The first is a canal boat possibly taking workers from, I think, Aston where the original works were to the new factory in Wood Lane. The second was originally posted by Frothblower I think. The last is taken just inside the gates looking down towards Base Stores. I take issue...

I've already posted this pic on another thread some time ago but thought that some may not have seen it. My Dad, Jack Fowler, is the second player in from the left on the back row.

Nice job Alan, my wife and I are going over to Flanders for a week sometime in May hopefully.

It's a difficult one. I've just had a contact from a second cousin I never knew I had whose family had emigrated to Canada in 1920. His Great Grandfather was a brother of my Grandmother when she was still living in Bethnal Green. Now he's a Professor of Sociology at a University in Canada! So...

We stared to watch the first one but switched off. Don't mind him when he sticks to comedy but in this program he seemed to be saying "look at me, how clever am I" too much. Still I didn't see it all so I may be doing him a disservice.

Re: workpeople and goods only Was that the building shown on an episode of The Hustle a couple of years ago?

Thanks for posting that horsencart. We lived at 527 Tyburn Rd from 1953 until the early 1960's and I remember our neighbours, the Robinsons on one side and Mr & Mrs Bradbury on the other who kept our old cat when we left as he wouldn't have managed the move to Tamworth. And he spent most days...

Still there according to Google Here it is around 1913 And again around 1952

Oh dear, Don Johnson eat your heart out!

Thanks Lyn, that would be great! :-))

I sold most of them on eBay but I think I still have a few in the loft. Trouble is, it's bloomin freezing up there at the moment!
