Gone, but not forgotten.
Hi Rosy,
I knew Moseley Rd well right through the 50's 60's & 70's and I cannot ever remember there being a hotel of any sorts. All I can remember is Mrs Griffin's boarding house next to the library & baths. It was a theatrical boarding house where many up and coming stars stopped while appearing in Birmingham.
The building is still there today, but it is now a Sikh temple. The were of course small hotels & bed & breakfast places on Alcester Rd which is a continuation of Moseley Rd.

Hi Phil,
Thankyou very much for your reply. Sorry I've been out all day!
I didn't think there were any hotels in the Moseley Road when my Social Worker told me this.
Have you any idea please of names of hotels in the Alcester Road which are still there?
Thanks so much for your reply
Best Regards

Hi Rosy
The only further help I can give is to tell you of the only two hotel I can remember on Alcester Rd in the 60's. They were the Alcester Lodge Hotel and the Oakfield Hotel and there was another one quite close to the Oakfield but the name escapes me.
They were in reality no more than bed & breakfast places and to be honest I don't know if they remain open today as I haven't been that way for years.

Hi Phil,
Many thanks for the info about the hotels you can remember in the Alcester Road Phil. I will look in to it to see if by any chance they are still there. It's really a shot in the dark in the quest to find my husband's sister, but anything is worth a try.
My thanks & Best Wishes
Have a nice weekend
