Hi Kevrina,
That's a weird address. Lea Hall Road is neither in South Yardley or Birmingham 26, it is in Birmingham 33, Kitts Green,
Stechford, Lea Hall etc, and South Yardley is Birmingham 25. BUT, is the picture that old that the districts may
have changed? Any idea of the age of the photo perhaps?
Kind regards
Dave

South Yardley used to be Birmingham 25A until Kitts Green sorting office opened in Crossfield Road, next to the bus depot.

This Postal district map, published in 1935, shows Lea Hall Road in South Yardley. At this time it doesn't show a postal district number. Maybe not yet allocated. I grew up in Sheldon and it always had the P.O. district B26.
It is a relative of my Mums stepfather, I think it was his brother so 30’s 40’ s , I thought it may be of interest to someone .Unusual surname it has been varied over the years .

There was a Quinneys Dairy in Birmingham, there's a thread about the farm and family - could be some relative?

Hello folks I'm looking for any reference that will help me locate and learn a bit about Quinneys Farm. On the census records it appears on the Yardley Wood Road close to Bells Walk. Can anyone help? Many thanks

I am just busy trying to sort my ancestry so paused it tried to have a look but it’s not helping today , that sounds as if could be right age.
Could be I know there was Hilda, Jono , Alfred I have his daughters birth certificate upstairs so will check for more names , actually yes it could be as I have some pictures of my Mum on or at a farm her Mum married again when she was 4 , I posted the postcard from Birmingham my Gran sent a few weeks ago , thanks for that info .There was a Quinneys Dairy in Birmingham, there's a thread about the farm and family - could be some relative?

That ties in with the Lea Hall Road Quinneys. Alfred James was the second eldest child of Reginald & Mary (eldest died young). John was a younger brother. There appear to have been 3 sons and 5 daughters - including twins.
Reginald was born Coventry, son of a Thomas Elijah Quinney and Harriet Hartop. Thomas Elijah was born Foleshill, son of William Quinney and Hannah Poultney.
Amazing what is out there , that’s brilliant will show his great grandson .
I always intended having a look around Birmingham as used to change trains there to get to our daughters but she has come back up North now , I am sorry I have no idea we’re anything is all is my Mum said it was a big house they used to go to , I am going to get looking at maps etc .
Hi,
I know Birmingham 33 was created in the 1950s, because when we moved to Stechford in 1950
it was still Birmingham 9 for just a few years. So I guess this was probably when South Yardley
became very much smaller and Kitts Green, Tile Cross and Lea Hall became B33 with Stechford.
Coincidentally I moved to Wash Lane in South Yardley in 1965 when I got married.
Kind regards
Dave

I would think Lea Hall Road is pretty much as it was in the 1950s (apart from the cars).
Bordesley Park Road, however, appears to have completely changed. At least half of the original road has been renamed (Bolton Road) and the modern one only follows a bit of the old one.
Never totally certain when it comes to court addresses but I think it's probably no. 9 court 11 (court 9 doesn't look big enough for 11 houses). This map is from 1950, court 11 is still listed as such, court 9 would have been behind no. 113...
