Hello there,
Having only just found/joined the forum this is my first post - I realise this is an old message thread but hopefully one/some of the original posters may pick up!
My great grandparents and grandmother lived at number 16 Blundell Road from around the turn of the century up until 1942, they were Charles and Ellen Beale along with daughter Elsie Helen, Charles worked at the Burbury brickworks up until around 1942 when they moved to the Warwick Road, Solihull where he then continued to work at Solihull brickworks.
My grandmother Elsie Helen Beale also had many friends in the Blundell Rd/Mountford St/Percy Rd areas.....in fact I think one way or another, my family has many connections to that immediate locality - all of course, sadly way. way before my time though!
By another coincidence, (small world indeed!) I also have a family connection to the original poster Linwaisee - so hope he may pick up again on this thread.
