Re: Looking for any Robinsons/ Harris/ Stych/ Gillams Well I saw the name Harris and Stych together which made me sit up and take notice ! One of my ancestors was Caroline Eleanor Styche who married John Keight. I would like more info on Harris` too ! My grandmother was Cissie Harris going back...

Maybe resident experts can update this thread with links to the news reels and where the places are now ? Does anyone know where this public kitchen is ? - https://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=76707

Great pics Virusman, well they would be if it weren't so sad to see the state of the building. Nice to see pics of it intact.

It was a furniture factory apparantly.

It seems to me quite a few listed buildings "mysteriously" catch fire and then aren't worth saving.

Whats the story with the Registered Offices Of the City Of Bham Yacht Club at the Moby Dick ?!

And this thread https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=16697&referrerid=7039 and a couple more photos......

Cheers Winston, it would be good to some photos of it in its prime. I`ll post a photo of the Moby Dick Pub in the pubs section, wonder if that will be demolished ?

Does anyone know what this building was near Millenium Point ? Anyone have any photos of the building in its prime ? Shame its going.......

Brilliant quality photo !

Re: City Centre Photo Album Has anyone seen any photos of when people used to live in Birmingham City Centre in the 1800s ? eg Water St, Henrietta St ?

I`ve had some good results by just throwing stuff into the ether ! So here goes...... anyone else tracing Raffertys ? I`ve got back to Michael Rafferty born in Ireland 1801, came to Brum and lived in Henrietta St.

Next to the Villa ground, its still there.

Does anyone know anything about Henrietta Street, was it known for its Irish Immigrant residents in the 1800s ?

It still exists, I drive past it every day. My Ancestors lived at no 46 in 1881. https://www.multimap.com/s/s6dR9C01

Well it looks like Ann Maria was his second wife as she was 37 with a 24 year old son living them. Maybe John William & Henry had moved out by the 1881 Census. There was another large family of Keights living next door ! Name Age John Keight 55 Ann M. Keight 37...

Annie Keight Standing (b 17.06.1880), Emily Keight Seated (b 10.08.1876) my great grandmother who I knew nothing about until a couple of weeks ago. I got the photo through contacting a distant relative through ancestry.com The quality is quite poor but I`m amazed that I`ve got a photo at all !!
