No. Am afraid the office building went about 3-4 weeks ago.

May just have to get my 80yr old mom onto this tomorrow - if no-one has solved it by then!

Is it the thoroughfare (now car park) between Cannon Hill Park and the Birmingham Nature Centre?

Is it St Mary's College, Oscott?

Is it Holy Trinity Church in Sutton from Rectory Rd/Riland Road area?

I thought the same as Lloyd - St Mary's, Hampstead Road in the distance. Couldn't decide whether it was being viewed from the Church Hill Rd area or the other side - Grove Lane/Hinstock Rd?

Somewhere along Bristol Rd?

Hi My uncle, George Seale, remembers there being three Turner brothers - Frank, Billy (William) and, he thinks, Fred - who he said was always known as "Shaggy". This would have been in the 30's and 40's. Not sure whether the original location of the factory might have been in Small Heath...

Hi all Have just been reading the posts regarding Turner Bros. My dad, Les Seale, and his three brothers - George, Bernard and Clifford - all went to work there as apprentices straight from school. Sadly, my dad and his younger brother, Clifford, both died in 2007 but the elder two brothers...
