I see the Golden Lion made Central News last night. Birmingham Conservation Trust is working with a range of partners to try to secure a future for the building. They have asked for the public's support to progress with a full restoration and are asking people to get in touch with stories they may have about the building.

A very precise approach to municipal planting schemes.

Proper planting, except they're standing on the soil. Titmarsh would not allow that

Quite right Boilerman. Mom, the daughter of a trained gardener always made me stand on a sheet of three ply so as not to damage the structure of the soil. DerekProper planting, except they're standing on the soil. Titmarsh would not allow that

Thanks Janice, really sad, but not unforeseen, in today's world, we older people, want things to remain, its part of our history and heritage, but of course it wont, it is recorded here, what my association to the great Cannon Hill Park is, and I will always hopefully, have those memories!!!

Hello Viv, Thank you for this newspaper cutting of the Cannon Hill gardeners at work.
The big man in the dark clothing is my great uncle Henry Frankcom. Henry (Uncle Harry) was born in 1887. He lived in Tyseley most of his early life and began work at Canon Hill after leaving school . He had a break from gardening when the second world war came along. He returned to Cannon Hill after the war and spent the rest of his working life there. one of his tasks was to make sure that the being plants used in the annual floral display came into bloom at the right time. A lovely man, he passed away in 1974.
Again, many thanks.
Frank
