Thank you all for your kind words. I am so pleased that my late Father’s (Norman,aka Brookieboy) Birmingham collection has gone to such a good cause and where it will be appreciated. It’s also a way for me of keeping his memory alive. I have been reading his threads on the forum and I can hear him speaking. With much lov and thanks. Yvonne xxx
 
I have a collection of books , magazines & framed pictures of Birmingham and I have often wondered what will happen to them after I pass away. Problem is that I am in Canada, which presents a logistical nightmare in financial terms.

Also in the boxes of goodies were 20+ laminated pics/prints. I have scanned those rather than take photos. Some, I think, may already be on the forum in an appropriate thread but thought I would put them all on here. They are A4 size apart from the first couple. The airport one is actually a greetings card (unused). Here goes:

My Father, who was a member of this forum, sadly passed away in May 2021, aged 92 years young. Her was born in a back to back house in Brookfields and was very proud of his Birmingham heritage. I have a box of immaculate pictures, prints and books relating to old Birmingham that I am happy to donate. However, having tried various organistations (Central Library, Back To Backs, Birmingham Archives), nobody seems interested in taking them. It seems such a shame, not to mention waste, just to have to bin them. If anyone can suggest anything or anyone, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Yx
