I think this is very interesting because as a family they were traditionally Brassfounders and thimblemakers. I wonder if 102 was the 'workshop' foundary that made the token? It would be interesting to see this. Thanks again

I have found a newspaper article dated 1870. There may a possibility that number 102 was part of thisl letting? Or as it was onthe corner of Richard Street perhaps the numbering sysytem came firm there? George Lowe mentioned ar 61 Bartholomew Street is very much the same man: 61 Bartholomew...

Oh thank you for the map. I did a search on this site and found a previous post from 2009 under the titled Pubs in Bartholomew Street (Little Italy) and on there it states the Waggon and Horses was definitely number 61 and closed in 1943, given that date, hopefully a photo might...

Oh Viv is it different to the Newspaper section on Find My Past?

Oh thanks for that Viv.Yes what an awful year. He died in 1900 I suspect a sad man, His son Charles Lowe as mentioned was in prison in the 1901 Census so not sure if it was for this or something else. I am a member of Find My Past and searched on their Newspaper section but coudnt find this. Did...

Hello I am researching my paternal relation George LOWE b1819 Birmingham. The census (Midlands Electoral Register and 1871 Census) states he ran the Waggon and Horses at 61 Bartholomew Street from 1864 until 1875. He then moved onto the Gas House Tavern Upper Windsor Street (I'll list this one...

Yes Agreed Mike, I have searched and reached a dead end regarding the name Tasker and The Shooting Club too.

Fantastic! Many thanks Joanne

Thanks Astoness. I agree it is a wonderful photograph with its vast array of hats! I was hoping the photo would have names etc written on the reverse but sadly no. I have traced my family to Berners Street around this time and in fact lived her upto the 1940/50s and was hoping the photo might...

I did wonder if having a Gun Club attached to a pub was a good idea, especially after a few pints! Thanks for checking. I do have access to the Newspaper articles on FMP so I will check it out, though I oftern get side tracked reading the news of the day: fascinating! Joanne

I found this photo on Ebay as my family (Cox and Lowe) have history to Berners Street. Does anyone have any information on the New Inn Shooting Club. The date is unknown. Thanks

Hi Bob Yes he remembers you and said you had a large garden you all played in! I'm getting him signed up so he should be able to post himself soon!!

Hi Yes it probably is my dad, his younger brother was Tony and his name is Harold but would get called 'Al'. I will show him this link!!

He remembers this cafe! It's a clearer picture of his house. I should get him to join so he can share more of his stories and tales! Thanks

Many thanks for the photo. This shows the bookies behind the gates. I will show this to him. Josie

Yes that's just as my Dad said. His house was just further up 192, just in the shot. Thanks for the picture. Josie

Hi Dave, I think My Dad mentioned this. The one he spoke about was a bit 'dodgy' was behind some double wooden gates and you passed the money through a hole in the wooden gates. Was this the one you were thinking of or a more 'legit' one! JoseLowe

Wonderful Photos of Guildford Street. My Dad's family 'Lowe' lived in this street during the 40's and 50's. They later moved to Bartley Green in 1952. He was born 3/142 Berners Street but moved to 194 Guildford Street (in between Gower Street and Gerrard Street) shortly after. We think one of...
