Personal Recollections by E.Edwards Project Gutenberg

I found this site absolutely fascinating. It is a personal observer's report about Birmingham and outlying areas in the early to mid 1800's. It starts on
a coach journey from London to Birmingham and goes on from there. Aston is mentioned. You can find it at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/18821/18821-h/18821-h.htm

You've got me fascinated already Jenny Ann, but when I tried the site it was to be told the server was temporarily unavailable. Will try again later. Thanks for the link.

Hi Chris. It seems to be working now. Hope you can get into it. I found the many adverts at the end more than fascinating.

An amazing first hand description of Birmingham's buildings and people. I have spent an hour or more on the site.
