Hi Wales,
I have just started an album of Aston Pubs on this site if you are interested? If so, I hope you can find it! Dave
 
hi dave. always interested dave. is it on the pubs thread. got quite a few pub pics myself. let me know if theres any you need. either me or other members will try and help you. i see you have put down bracebridge st. when did you live there. my aunt else and uncle sid lived there in the 50s. ps bet you have not got a pic of the vine inn that was in villa street. no one can help me as yet on that one. cheers wales.:)
 
Wales it seems you have got the photo posting right at last well done.:422:
 
Hi Wales,
Sorry, no picture of the Vine Inn but very close - I have a pic of The Salvation Army Hall in Nursery Road between Villa Street and Church St.
I lived in Bracebridge St from 1944 to 1965 almost opposite The Vine Inn, a small pub just down the street from The White Hart. What was the surname of your relatives?
My pub album is under Dave Baths Albums but dont ask me how you get there. Thanks for the offer of pics. Not sure if I will collect them or just post them for others like yourself.
 
hi alf. bout time. will probably drive you all mad now. have you seen the nursery road ones then. i did send you a message saying ive got them under the geneolagy thread. click on nursery road newsagents. wales
 
hi dave. my aunt and uncle were else and sid broughton. cant remember what number they lived at. it was on the opposite side to the park just a bit further down.
 
Dave, Ive just been through all of your posts. There is no pub album anywhere.
 
Mike,
Click on my name in my post then my personal profile and you should find it. I am off to bed. Its 1a.m. here.
