Handsworth Cemetery Chapel Anniversary

Key Hill Brian

Proud Brummie
Knowing how helpful and generous the Forumers are - May I post a request?

Rose - one of the 2 overworked office staff at Handsworth cemetery has been 'given' a project (as they all have).
It is the 110th Anniversary soon of the beautiful Chapel in handsworth Cemetery and she has to organise some sort of 'Open Day' bearing in mind it is still a working cemetery.

I have told her to look on the Forum and Birmuingham Heritage, Mac Joseph, Ted Rudge, Barra, Handsworth Local History, Civic Society & Carl Chinns archives, etc for photo's articles, etc.

Have any you any nice old pics of the chapel, early funerals, famoua funerals, or just intersting stories that she can use?

She is on [email protected] 0121-554-096 - After posting the here of course!
