Re: Bartley Green-schools-cutler Family My dad and his brother went to Bartley Green School in the 1930's. It was in Adams Hill, I believe. Here are two photographs from that era.

Thanks Mike, I remember my mum saying that she lived in Lower Tower St. after I got a job there in the late 1980's. I'm not very clued up on how the court numbering system worked, I'm afraid. PS I notice that you are also researching the Marks surname... any from the Bristol/Hambrook area? (you...
