2 of my grandparents died in Highcroft in the 60s. One certificate states cause of death "Cardiovascular degeneration and senility" the other "Bronchopneumonia and senility". Both certs give the address as number 18.

Wasn't it Keyhill Brian? He told me the view was from New St

Although I couldn't stay for all of it, I enjoyed the time. (Should have stayed instead of watching the Blues lose!) BTW Lyn, when are you posting me my prize??:unconscious:

Agree with Wendy and Stitcher. Keep up the good work.

When I moved to London in my early 20s I found a few pronounciations strange. Although now I always say "Marleybon" as all (or most) Londoners pronounce it that way. Also, down here in Oxfordshire, Magdalen College is pronounced "Mawdlin". Weird!

What a great photo Ray. Looks like you were about to fall out!

I can just remember the first holiday I had in Gt Yarmouth. My Dad had gone with his parents for a few years before the war and after going out with Mom the 4 of them used to go. This first trip for me was memorable because we went by train (from Snow Hill I imagine?) and as there were 5 of us...

Looking forward to the meet. Wife (Chris) and I were in town today and we went to the Bull as she'd never been there before and had to put up with me going on about the fabulous food. For once I passed over the faggots and had gammon, double egg, chips and peas. Chris had beef and mushroom...

You have to wait until nearly the end of the video. I've seen our bungalow every time I've done it.

Blimey, I thought there was a big noise the other day!

Hi Lyn, Blues v Royal Antwerp at 3pm (sad or what?) so I'll be there for an hour or so.

I'd posted before that on this site someone had contatced me regarding families in Aston. This is a photo she sent where some of my relatives (by marriage) are shown. I thought members might like it as some may have their own family connections. It's The Royal Britannia, Park Lane, Aston showing...

When I was about 12 I had a Saturday job with the Co-Op butchers at the bottom of Wheelwright Rd. The shop is just out of this picture on the left. The best bit was receiving the delivery of fresh (dead) chickens first thing and cleaning them ready for sale. I had to slice around the base of...

Phil, I'm already looking forward to your journey up the Coventry Rd!

Here's "my" marriage cert.

Brilliant Lyn! What a fantastic find. I know what it's like to find the odd 1 or 2 from long lost rellies, but to get all those is wonderful.:triumphant::triumphant: I'm still hoping to find my maternal grandfather's picture when he joined up in 1912. It was always hanging on his wall when I...

Thanks for that Viv!

Looks like someone in Brum has sold the City well to TV producers - like The Hustle. Nice to see!

When I lived in Knowle that tip was my nearest and I clearly remember going there in the 90s and seeing the bricks in the yard next to the tip.

I moved around the corner from Bromford Lane to Tyburn Road in 1953 as a young boy. Our house backed onto Aston Chain and Hook. Here's a photo of the factory from the air. Tyburn Road is going across from left to right and Bromford Lane diagonally from bottom left to upper right. Our house...
