My Gt Gt Grandfather lived in Court 14 Price Street in the early 1800s. He was a Jennings : he met a female member of the Brain family, who also lived in Price Street, and they got married. The Brains had moved to Birmingham from the Bristol area in the 1830s. I have been meaning to visit the...

Not council-owned I take it?

Thanks everyone.

I see. It appeared to be boarded up. Do you know where the original Yardley Wood School was situated?

Thanks. As you drive along the Yardley Wood Road from the roundabout near Billesley Fire Station towards Swanshurst Road, there is an old building set well back on the left and virtually invisible unless you know it is there at SP089815.

Hello. Does anyone know if the old buildings set back off Yardley Wood Road near Swanshurst Pool is the original Yardley Wood school which was replaced by modern buildings some time ago? Thanks.

Does anyone have any information relating to a very large, former house, now flats, called Waverley Court close to the junction of Wake Green Road and Grove Avenue, Moseley. There is a large nameplate on the building and it looks like it must have been owned by someone with a lot of money. Thanks.

Thanks again. Fascinating images which highlight the nursery perfectly. It would appear that nursery owners sold a fair amount of land because the library is some distance from the actual nursery. All I need now is the name of the nursery.

Thanks for that. All cinemas tried to impress in those days.

I'm looking for information relating to the area occupied by Hall Green Library and the buildings behind the library on the Stratford Road. I understand that the land was occupied by a garden nursery and owned by the same family for a number of years before the nurseries were sold off and the...

Thanks for replying Chris. I can remember playing in the middle of Wilson Road and not a car to be seen. Incidentally, do you still live in Yorkshire. I live in Moseley, not far from where I was born at the Sorrento hospital (no longer). I never really found out why my mom had to travel from...

Does anyone know if Bertha Ryland and Louisa Ryland were related in any way? I know that Louisa had no siblings, but the families could be related.
