Living in a house where there was a murder, which had a ghost and which was broken into must have been quite an expreience. Start of a good mystery story there, I guess. Have you any pictures of the street at that time? They would be of great interest to the thread. Incidentally, I have been...

I wonder whether you have any reference to the Nichols who lived in Hingeston Street, Carver Street and College Road, Saltley around the turn of the 19th/20th century. The other names in your list did not ring any bells so I shall not hold my breath. But thanks for looking anyway.

Hello, Nayer, I am pleased that you are setting up the exhibition. However, I was born over my grandmother's shop at 79 Adderley Road, Mrs Edwards, in 1937 and being so ancient I fall outside your age limits. Sadly, I also have no photographs of the area that might be of use to you. If you...

I have an Alan Godfrey copy of the 1902 OS map that shows Ralph Road just starting to be built from the Alum Rock Road end. There is a terrace of three houses on the south west side (ie the uphill side) and two opposite them. They come to an abrupt end at allotments. At the other end of the...

Hi, Lyn, Sorry to be a nuisance but how do I get to post 66? (I am a newbie - and not too bright at that - so I hope you will make allowances.) Colin

Dear Astoness, My Ggrandparents lived at No 66 Hingeston Street and I am trying to get a picture of the street (if one exists). However, I see all these grey blocks with 'Thumbnail attached' but do not know how I can access the attachments. Am I allowed? How do I do it? Sorry to interrupt...

Thanks, dib44. You have just filled a little gap in my family tree jigsaw (figuratively speaking).

Could someone tell me what corner the Royal Mnt pub stood on, please?

Phil, Thanks for the pictures. I was especially pleased to get the one of Aston Ales as it was between our shop and The Gate. I must have walked past it scores of times but as I left there as a five-year old I was probably not very interested in beer. I was interested, however, in bananas and...

Phil, you are a hero. I have been trying to find a picture of Adderley Road for years and you have come up with one. I was born over Mrs Edwards's shop, No 79 Adderley Road, about a dozen houses from Mr Turner's News/conf/tob. on the corner of Cranby Street. I tried to photograph the shop...

A few hours ago I read a message from Terry who asked for the names of anyone who was living in Greenway Street the year before WWI. I have not been able to find Terry since (I am a newbie) but perhaps he will find this. My Ggrandparents, Charles Horace and Emma Nichols, were living in 3Ho 9Ct...
