hi all...must have been well over a year ago now that someone posted either a pic or a drawing..(think it was a drawing) of lozells farm that would have been near the corner of villa road and birchfield road i think...now ive tried searching for it for ages on the forum but cant find it so if anyone can help me find it again or the member who posted it please repost i would be most grateful...

many thanks.....
 
Was it Like this one Lyn,? I haven't posted it before ( neither had the previous owner ) by Royal mail that is.

Its a postcard which is now one of my prized possessions . Max
 
brillient max...i recognise the farm it but i think it was a different pic that i saw...i wonder if someone can find out please where about a mr f adams had his shop in lozells then we could place the spot where the farm stood...i think it was near the junction of villa road and birchfield road or somewhere near there...

If I remember correctly John Houghton posted a lot of information regarding the sale details of the farm a few years ago. Perhaps it is now on his new site Aston History Forum I think is the name.
 
Don’t know if this was the original postcard discussed on here, but here is one. Think it might have been painted by somebody named Green. The pc has a little info too, telling us 50 years later it was the site of the shop of Mr F Adams. Viv.
