Hi Austin,
You do not have to explain to me on how you seen the fire from your bedroom window,as yes I knew those big Victorian house
Was there at the top end and of course you would have seen it I did not doubt for one moment
My expression was a figure of speech when I said I was surprised and I know it was seen for miles
Just like the wood fire down Catherine. Street along the Lichfield road which was just yards from the Aston cross picture house
And facing An sells that was seen across the Birmingham Area
Best wishes Astonian,,,,,,,
