Just found a relative of my wife at 28 Stella st. Mary Ann Hofton

Have emailed back - I am in Erdington, just off A38 Halfway between Spaghetti & Castle Brom M6 Jcts. I have a lot books and some pictures to downsize in the near future - when I get the chance to note them all down or photograph them.

Clearing out - Anyone with a Video recorder who wants these? Free for collection, or possibly delivery in Birmingham? Need to start decluttering and do not want to put in bin if someone wants them. I can be emailed on [email protected] if its easier. I do not get on the forum much...

Don't get on so much these days - so only just seen this, Sadly am away the weekend - Hope everything goes off OK

Was the place to go to for odds and ends - both in early 1960's when living in Little King St & in 1990-20010' ish when working in Key Hill Cemetery. My eldest brother had a Saturday job there in 64-5, and popped in when in Brum early 2000's - still knew where to find everything in the hardware...

HI Lyn, hanging on - waiting for warmer weather. A lot of Wheeler st was still there when we left, but But to the left Guest St, Gt King St, New John St West, Bridge St, Little King St was devastated. The Peoples chapel stood alone, The White Horse pub similar, St Saviours had gone, Farm St...

That is how it looked in 1966 when we left Little KIng St (but further left of the picture). 2 Occupied and 2 unoccupied terraced Houses) HHiroshima type landscape standing alone with the White House Pub alone across the way. Before they realised they were demolishing faster than rebuilding...

Happens too often nowadays, how about taking the license of the driver who does not know how high is load is, or remove the operators license or a hefty fine to the Company for not training their drivers in height measurement? One day all those delayed by such stupidity will follow the...

That spring still flows, right behind my garden before crossing Holly Lane!

Must have been "temporarily" repaired They used put Tis Bars through the building to keep the walls straight. Used to see a big S or X on the wall out of steel on front and back. Certainly occupied in the early 60's.
