Birchfield Harriers

[Vivienne14]

I can’t find a thread dedicated to those sportsmen and women who were Birchfield Harriers, so this is for all those athletes associated with the Club. The sports stadium (Alexander) was originally on Aldridge Road and has its own thread here https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/alexander-sports-ground.48723/

This thread is to recognise the personal and professional achievements of the Club’s athletes. Viv.

Certainly deserve a thread of their own. Existing info can be found in the threads, Alexander Sports Ground, Athletics and Birdfield Harriers WWI Memorial plaque.
