Of course, Raymond's, Mr Teasy Weazy, New St, Birmingham has to be the first that springs to mind!!!!! But I'd like to hear of any other salons that would have been popular in Birmingham in the 60's, 70's and 80's etc. Any pics would be fabulous, surely there must be a Raymond's photo out...

I'm booked in for this, I have a list of the grave locations, hopefully there will be enough knowledgeable people there to help with the location. I will post to let you know how I get on.

Hi all You are all so knowledgeable on here, does anyone know of any free courses? Thank you.

Just bought tickets for this event. Looking forward to learning more.

Inspired by a post in the gardening 2023 thread. It would be interesting to see what grows wild in the UK that we can eat. Blackberries, it's a start I suppose!

There are some great programmes on TV, history wise, I wish there were more on Midlands history. Does anyone watch anything on you tube? I know some people watch you tube and some people make multiple video's.

Knoghts Templar graves have been discovered by a historian, Edward Dyas. Very interesting to learn about how history can be forgotten. Amazing to think that history can be right here in front of us yet we don't recognise it! Experts claim 'many more' Knights Templar graves could be hidden...

Does anyone know where the oldest post box in Birmingham is?

I've heard that the blacksmiths from my family who worked in Broad Street and lived in Cambridge St, used to frequent a coffee house that was opposite or near to the old registry office site on Broad Street. Apparently they used to be able to see their premises from the coffee house, so it was...

I wonder how many unlikely gardens exist in Birmingham? By that I mean gardens of any size that may be on balconies of flats, small gardens, back yards. Gardens of properties that are right in the heart of Birmingham even. Gardens of any size at all.

Just stumbled across this place. Seems to be still be in operation on Gov companies house. Looked on street view, but it's just a lot of road works. Anyone know if its still there, I'd like to approach them and see if they have any history noted that may mention other blacksmiths.

Went to Brum today. Sat waiting at the lights, has Toys r us gone from High Street? Just got home and couldn't remember seeing it.

How pretty are the hearts! Lovely x

I went to a balti house last night in Ladypool Rd. Extremely good food. Obviously I know the basic history on balti houses in Birmingham, but if anyone can offer me any more info, it would be great to learn.

Just seen this advertisement. Has anyone been to this?

I'm trying to find a book called The Strawbridge's of Stockland and Beyond by Bryan Drew. Perhaps not many copies of this book were published? If anyone knows where I could find this book, please let me know.

This name is connected to the research I'm doing on a Strawbridge Baker in Bolton Road, S Heath. Any maps or info from that time would be great if possible.

Number 63 is crossed out, but what replaces it? It will possibly be the name of a pub or Inn. It is from 1881 and the profession of the addressee is Brewer and Inn Keeper.

Not sure if I'm posting in the right place? I'm trying to find a pic and I have asked before, but nothing came up. That was about 5 years ago now. I've had so much help from the forum, so I'm sure if anyone can help me they will. Perhaps there is new info available about where I could look...
