SOLIHULL LOCAL HISTORY CIRCLE - PAST MEETINGS

PAST MEETINGS

Bombing of Acocks Green was frequent, due in part to the fact that the Shadow Rover aviation factory was located next to the canal. King George VI visited in March 1938. Unlike in Germany, these shadow factories were not hidden in the woods, but were set up in the town to save on transport and to demonstrate Britain's resolve before the outbreak of war. The shadow factory replaced a market gardening business as a new building and was not demolished until 1975.

Map of Birmingham from 1940–43 shows the number of high-yield bombs (blue dots) and incendiary bombs (red dots) that landed. Incendiary bombs were small, often dropped in baskets several at a time, allowing them to catch fire slowly. In 1942, new, larger bombs came into use, which were more dangerous because they carried explosives. STRATRUP pumps, which required two men to operate, were fired to extinguish the fires and a pre-emptive guard was called. All property owners were asked to leave their gates or doors open to allow firefighters to reach the fires quickly (though some houses were very cold as a result). The number of bombs dropped on Acocks Green and other parts of Birmingham contrasts with Solihull. Alexander Road had only one fire engine, but Tyseley had a large fire station.

The heaviest air raids on Birmingham were in late 1940 and 1941. Notably, on the nights of 15th and 26th August, 46 Cottesbrook Road was destroyed, two people killed. On 24th and 25th August, 14 Wildfell Road was destroyed, another house was bombed and work to find bodies began. However, the woman and her children went out to visit her sister overnight and returned the next morning to find the house gone and the excavation work still ongoing. On 22nd and 23rd November, three main water mains were broken, leaving the town with a 60% water shortage. Another air raid the following night would not have been able to stop the fires and gas explosions. Also in November, Hockley's bus depot was heavily damaged and many buses were destroyed. The remaining buses were scattered, some parked in Fox Hollies Road with heaters on to prevent the engines from freezing. On 10th December, St Mary's Church, Acocks Green, was heavily bombed. For the next few months, services were held in the cinema, until Easter 1941, when services resumed in a side corridor.

The church school was bombed on October 18. In January 1941, 89 children were relocated to East Letford (Knots), but 192 remained. There were various children who had experienced life with a stranger (sometimes more than three years), but some had an unpleasant experience. In 1942, a kindergarten for 65 children opened on Frint Green Road, allowing women to work. There were many wonderful posters to attract women to the army, factories, the army, and many other occupations. Ms. Laura Night (RA) draws a woman heading to the lathe at the factory. During the war, women enjoyed social life at dance halls and movie theaters to do a good job, and had some money. At the end of the war, a lot of resentment occurred when the union movement claimed that "all women can leave and no one can remain."

Food distribution began in 1940, but did not include bread or potatoes. The week was paid for lard 4 ounce, margarine 2 ounce, cheese 2 ounce, 2 pints, one egg, one can bee, and one pork meat roof. Clothing distribution was introduced in 1941 and was paid 68 per person per year, but was reduced to 42 in 1948. There were 11 women's jackets, 7 skirts and blouses, five shoes, four coupons, and three bras. The gas mask was one person.

There were several types of prefabricated houses built in Aquox Green. Some were built in a bombed place, while others were built in a spare area. Many existing houses are hidden in brick facade, some have been demolished, while others have been transferred to residents on the condition of removal, and they have become cottages. Fox Holes' Hall Walker once owned a Fox Holes Road.

Hilfield Hall

On September 16, 2019, Nigel Cameron's speech church school was bombed on October 18, 2019. In January 1941, 89 children were relocated to East Letford (Knots), but 192 remained.

Hilfield Hall

A speech given by Nigel Cameron in the Soli Remodeling History Circle on September 16, 2019

The land at Hillfield was purchased in 1311 by Thomas Hawes, a lawyer. His descendants, for six generations until 1531, although his eldest son was always named Thomas, did not live there, preferring Idricourt near Shipston-on-Star. Hillfield Hall was built in 1576 by William and Ursula Hawes. It is built of expensive brick, has a square plan with parallel roofs, and has two polygonal towers with battlements on either side of the roof. The long gallery at the top predates the famous gallery at Aston Hall by 60 years. Halls were symbols of status. William lived there until his death in 1611, and was succeeded by his eldest son Edmund, and then by his grandson William II, who sold the rooms to George Fielding in 1665. The estate contained five farms, Hillfield 87 acres, Shelley 145 acres (sold in 1670), and three others. George added an "Italian" wing and a new entrance to the east of the house, with a drive to Widney Manor Road. He became bailiff for Solihull in 1671/2, died in office, and was succeeded by his son Robert, who lived in London. Robert was charming and extravagant, marrying two wealthy women in quick succession and quickly squandering his money. In 1677 he was pardoned for manslaughter and followed James II into exile. He returned in 1695, sold Hillfield in 1705, and died in poverty in 1712, aged 61, after being imprisoned for double marriage.

From 1660 to 1700, Rev. Solihal's pastor Henry Greswald (already owned by Malvan Hall) purchased Hilfield and lived in his second son Henry (1671-1749). The latter unmarried daughter Ann inherited, and after her death in 1756, she was the wife of David Lewis in Malvan Hall, and to Mary Geswald. These two holes were in the same person until Malvan Hall was sold in 1896. Hillfield was lent to the borrower. In 1795, the borrower was Peter Wooldridge, owning 114 acres for 105 pounds. In 1805, Steven Sprig borrowed under the same conditions, and his daughter later succeeded. In 1852, the opening of the Birmingham Oxford Railway, the land was halved, and in 1861 it became a vacant house. In January 1867, a miserable fire occurred at night. The Soli Ryl fire truck arrived, but the hose water was frozen. He requested rescue from Birmingham, but the crew arrived six hours after the fire occurred. The eastern wing of Italy was completely destroyed. With the restoration of the remaining part, the front entrance returned to the front of the west. From 1871 to 1986, pin craftsmen George Baird and their families lived as tenants in 1904 as Frederick Light and their families. Until 1928, the wool sales Samuel Bodington and his family were borrower. In each case, there were resident servants, sometimes seven servants.

In 1932, Oswald Event purchased a hole and operated a coal. He was registered in Grade II*in 1949. After his death in the early 1950s, the widow florence continued to live there until 1964, but she sold this hole (now only seven acres) to Peter & Amplifier Marglit Parry. They ran as a nightclub / casino and lived on the second floor, but was renovated in 1974 to the Up Market Restaurant. On October 22, 1976, a memorable buffet dinner was held to celebrate the 400 years since the hall was built, and Gordon Hose rushed to the United States. From 1660 to 1700, Rev. Solihal's pastor Henry Greswald (already owned by Malvan Hall) purchased Hilfield and lived in his second son, Henry (1671-1749). 。 The latter unmarried daughter Ann inherited, and after her death in 1756, she was the wife of David Lewis in Malvan Hall, and to Mary Geswald.

Mitchells & Butler purchased a hall in 1984 and used it as a Toby carberry and pub. In 2001, the building was acquired by a developer, divided the building vertically to three flat, renovated a hut and lodge, and applied for a plan to build a total of 18 buildings in a total of 12 buildings. 。 Despite many oppositions, permission has fallen. The housing was sold as a "Solifle and best new address" by Fairy Craf Holmes. The three bedrooms were 400. 000 pounds, and the 4-bedroom was 450. 000 pounds.

Smeswick, Wen's Doberto, and Dudley were in the settlement of Staffordshire, as in many other areas in the late 18th century, but began to change significantly. Halborn was a vast area that was partially Staffordshire and some of the Workshir. The big map of 1828 is more interesting.

Small beer (brewed in black counrys from Worcasher hops and Staffordshire barley) has been brewed for centuries for centuries. Everyone, including children, was drinking because it was safer than water. At ALE Assise of Ale, enacted in 1267, police officers were responsible for reporting violators in the production and sales of beer. There were many inns (providing accommodation facilities), especially ope n-air housing. Drunk was often seen in any century. With the development of iron and glassworking in the hot weather, the demand for beer increased rapidly and drunk increased. At the end of the 18th century, the sailors brought back Gin in the Netherlands, doubling the consumption between 1807 and 1827. Beer consumption increased from 1807 to 1827. As a result, the Beer House Law was enacted in 1820, and the tax was abolished, but a tw o-guineage license was introduced to sell beer inside and outside the premises. Sales before 4:00 am and after 10:00 pm were prohibited, and there were restrictions on Sundays, Holy Friday, and Christmas. Beer sellers were overjoyed, and 20, 000 licenses were issued. Mitchels & Butler purchased a hall in 1984 and used it as a Toby carberry or pub. In 2001, the building was acquired by a developer, divided the building vertically to three flat, renovated a hut and lodge, and applied for a plan to build a total of 18 buildings in a total of 12 buildings. 。 Despite many oppositions, permission has fallen. The housing was sold as a "Solifle and best new address" by Fairy Craf Holmes. The three bedrooms were 400. 000 pounds, and the 4-bedroom was 450. 000 pounds.

A wake is a festival held on the day before a saint's feast day, such as the dedication of a parish church. It began to decline from the late 16th century and came to an end under Cromwell. However, it was revived in the 18th century "for the benefit of caterers". It took place in the autumn, when there was less agricultural work, so that people living in the countryside could participate together with those living in the cities, where the markets provided a venue. There were races, contests, and greithas (pulling the face through a horse's collar), but also many cruel sports with animals, where ignorant people did not notice the pain they were suffering. Bear and bull baiting with specially bred wild dogs, cockfights, and dogfights were common, as was wrestling and boxing with bare hands. Everything was involved in gambling. Men sold household goods and even domestic pigs to raise money that was quickly lost or drunk. Respectable men avoided the noisy crowds, which were dens of pickpockets. Typically, the proprietor of an alehouse provided a bull, which was chained and allowed to move for about 15 yards. Each dog's owner paid a fee to his bull mastiff, English bulldog or Staffordshire terrier to attack the bull for a certain time. At the end the bull was slaughtered and its meat sold to spectators. The popularity of this "sport" is commemorated today in street names. In Bilston, for example, a bull overturned a stall, injured many people and eventually escaped into a field where he was shot. In Halbourn, a man was thrown from a second-storey window by a bull and was unable to leave his house for two days. It was banned in Birmingham in 1773 and in Wolverhampton in 1815 (refusing a licence to a publican to provide the bull). In 1800, when the government feared crowds after the French Revolution, a bill was introduced in the House of Commons to ban the practice, but it was defeated by two votes. In 1822, a law was passed to prevent the cruelty of cattle, but when the Dudley Six appealed their conviction, the Supreme Court ruled that "cattle" did not include bulls. Bull baiting began to take place on private property, and was finally banned by the Cruelty to Animals Act of 1835.

The chicken was usually held seven games, and each game was about 10 minutes. There was enough time to bet between the match. Wednesday parish churches have wooden cocks made in the 14th century. Boxing inherits featherweight and bantamweight from chicken. The chicken was illegal in 1849. Fighting dogs are still illegally performed, and West Midruns is a hot spot. Boxing and wrestling, regulated by the 1867 Queen's Berry Rule, have been continued as sports, and many are betting professionals. Thanks to the development of the railway and the Sabbath holiday, other sports and hobbies are also increasing.

History of the horizon of Birmingham

On March 18, 2019, a lecture by David & Amp; Pam HUMPHRIES at Solihull Local History Circle.

The Ins family owned the fields where the racetrack is currently built, but in 1870 it began to rent it as a residential site. Henry and Lamp and James Dracey brothers have demolished the opposite houses and built a variety tower modeled on a theater with architect F. W. Lloyd's black pool minalettes at the top. There was a circular circus tent, and there were 3, 000 seats around. It opened on October 9, 1899, but was not a success. Lloyd has designed the theater into a conventional Prosenium theater with 2, 000 seats in orchestra, a circle dress gallery, and six boxes. On August 20, 1900, reopened as the Chivoli variety theater. The Dracey family was also a betting shop, so the theater still performed a circus, and horses often appeared on the program. His manager was Harry Calver, and Cola Turner was also playing this theater. He married Harley Clippen as his second wife, but he poisoned her and fled on a boat to the United States. The captain was suspicious and called the London Metropolitan Police Department (this is the first time that radio was used for this purpose). Clippen was executed in 1910. The other was a Chinese magician, Jung Lin Sue (actually American), one of his tricks was to shoot his wife. When he played in London, a real bullet was used and his wife died.

In 1903, the theater was acquired by Thomas Barrasford, renamed Hippo Dorome, and became famous as a music hall twice at night. The audience entered the Hurst Street and left Ins Street because of the corner. The young boys have searched for a leaving audience program and sold them to the arrival audience for their interests. Barasford's big rival was Stall Moss Company, which owns Empire Theater and Aston Hippodrome. On July 7, 1913, Australian famous Australian Annette Kellaman, a nude, appeared, and Dorothy & Lamp, Sean Word (lived until the age of 97 and 84), were often set on the stage. Marie Lloyd, George Roovy and W. C. Fields also appeared, and Fred Blythe, a "family black sheep", was gay (at the time). Thomas Barrasford died in 1910.

Hippodorome was closed on June 6, 1914 and was used by T. Alan Edwards at the end of the month. Edwards used an architect Berti Crew (six theaters, including ladies), and made a larg e-scale renovation. The gallery was removed, the dress circle was expanded, and a central passage was provided. The theater reopened until 1917. Movie theaters have become increasingly popular, especially since the introduction of "talk" in 1927. In 1930, Oscar Deuttu's Odeon opened in Perry Bar. Hippodorome was acquired and renovated by Stal l-Moss in 1924. In August 1929, Foli Belger's review was published. George Fombie and Gracey Fields appeared in 1932 and Montrevani in 1938.

During World War II, the performance was raised so that the audience could return home before the power outage. In October 1944, the Empire Theater was severely damaged by incendiary bombs, and bombs fell on Hippo Dorom, but theaters were saved by firefighters. The stars that appeared after the war were 1945, 1945, Laurel & Walis, Laurel & Walis in 1945, Laurel & Walis in 1945, Laurel & Walis in 1945, Laurel & Walis in 1945, 1945 Laurel & Wallis of the year. Hardy (Charlie Hall from Washwood Heath, from Washwood Heath, appeared in 47 works), Vera Lin (also appeared in 1953) in 1949, Danny O. Kay in 1949. The first pantomime Jack and Bean Tree was created in 1957 with Beryl Reed. Ronnie Donegan in 1959, Cliff Richard in 1961, Beatles in March 1968, and at the end of the year. My Fair Lady was performed in 1964 for half a year.

Mosen Pyers closed New Street Theater Royal to launch ATV in the 1960s. Hippodorome tower was removed and was removed and set a new White. It was renamed the Bermingham Theater, but this decision was immediately overturned. In 1970, hair was performed and Danny La Lou appeared. In 1971, Wales National Opera first appeared.

In 1979, Moss Empire sold the ownership of the racetrack to the city council, and various extensions were performed for many years. For example, the shipping hole beside the entrance was purchased and demolished, and the stage was doubled to London in the UK. As a result, the performance of the main company has become possible. Wells Sadraz also moved to the Birmingham Royal Ballet. Therefore, it was necessary to remove the stage equipment and inclination to the audience. In the 1970s, Grindbone and Opera North appeared, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's company, "Dream Court of Joseph and Mysterious Color", "Cats", and "Gisas Christ Super Star". It was done. In June 1985, Lauren Bacal appeared in Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth. He attended a press conference at the Midland Hotel with an umbrella, but she grabbed it and beat him. The 1999 Royal performance in 1999, when the Queen attended on October 29, was one of the first performances other than London. Hippodorome has no unique show, but has contributed more than £ 40 million to the local economy, and is the most visitor in the UK, where 60, 000 spectators visit each year.

Story of St. Mary's, Aquox Green

On February 18, 2019, Michael Bahn's lecture

Aquox Green has evolved since the opening of Railway Station in 1852. In 1827, there was a small chapel on the Stockfield Road, but in 1860, a large church with a bell tower (architect Yo Building Tomason) was built on Warwick Road. This was demolished in 1973. The Mesodist had a chapel until 1873, but the British Church began to build in 1864. St. Mary's land was given by yardley trustees, where a new parish was created. The architect is J. G. Brand. The two passages made of bricks and stones were sacred in 1866, and the first pastor was Rev. Frederick Swimbver (up to 1890). The bell tower planned to the southwest was not built, but in 1894, J. A. Chatwin expanded the sickroom, grave and organ room. The eastern window was by Bur n-Jones, his disciples were many other windows (both were removed during World War II), and the west window was due to hardman. The speaker talked about four episodes about the church.

Aticia: There is an unrelated tomb in the church cemetery. At the grave of Frederick Joseph Persvar, his father worked in Warlicshire and then worked in the United States. Frederick, born in 1873, has a younger brother (George), and they were baptized in Burston in 1876. The family moved to Iowa in 1882, but returned to the boys in 1886 to attend Solihal School. In 1889, the family returned to the United States and later moved a 60 0-acres livestock to Prentis near Calgary. Frederick's father died in 1920. In 1929, Frederick was unexpected and hit the death of a distant cousin, an Irish noble founded in 1733, the teens of Egmont. The Earl moved the family to Avon Castle in Ringwood (Hanz), remodeling the kitchen like a Canadian hut. The Earl died in a traffic accident in 1932 and was buried in the St. Mary Church. The pastor (Philip Kelly) feared that many people gather at the funeral, trying to keep the funeral secret, but failed. His son Frederick (11th Count), born in 1914, returned to Canada and died in 2001 at the age of 87. My son, born in 1934, died without a child in 2011, when the title disappeared.

Turbulence: On December 10, 1940, two bombs hit the church directly, causing tremendous damage. A temporary roof was installed on the north side passage, and worship was resumed from the 1941 revival festival. In 1949, the church was completely restored, with high walls, including diagonal windows, and higher transparency of glass, increasing internal light. The roof was roofed instead of a slab. Rev. Phillip Kelly from 1931 to 53 was a rhino. He served as an Army Chapren in World War I and was a member of the territory while in the St. Mary Church. He liked beer, worshiped in a pub, and gained popularity.

Murder Emily Palmer died in 1885 at the age of 35 and was buried under a church monument. He was a resident of this parish and a white heart owner on the Paradise Street in Birmingham. He was married and had an affair with Henry Kimberry, and after that, a disturbing air flowed. He attacked her. She was saved, but her friend Emily was killed. The trial was held in February 1886 with the Birmingham Assizes, and the kimburry was hanged on March 17. [Until this time, all the guidance of Midruns had been performed in public places where crime was performed). The national horny executor was James Berry, who brought his own rope and was horned 131 in 1884 to 1991.

Terrorism Joseph Taylor, who was the chairman of the Committee, who gave a light speech to Rev. Fredericks in 1890, owned a ironworks established in 1849. In 1857, he hired mathematical engineer Steven Chalen (1842-1937) and became a partner in 1873. The company has become known as Taylor & Charen. In 1910, Steven moved to the 34th place on the Blossom Field Street in Solihal with his family. The company produced a cartridge case and bomb used in Paris on January 14, 1858, when Felice Olsini (Italian ethnicists) and British fellow tried to assassinate Napoleon III in Paris on January 14, 1858. 6 2-yea r-old stock maker Thomas Orsop ordered three bombs from the company and provided an old British passport to allow Orcini's entry into France. Eight escorts and other bystanders died, injuring more than 100 people. Olsini was captured and failed to trial on March 13, 1858. Orsop stayed from the United Kingdom to the United States for a few months to avoid punishment.

History of the Rapworth Church

A discussion held by Peter Hill in the Solihall Local History Circle on January 21, 2019.

"It's a great church, but it's not a problem." -Pevsner 1968. The speaker (guided to the Sent Mary Church on March 22, 2018) was drawn by William Green in 1946. Starting with the sketch of the waist, he used an excellent illustration to explain the problems in a very eas y-t o-understand manner. Rapworth was around the Friappa when it was recorded in the Bishop of Wostar Den Bright in 816. By 1086, there was one cultivated land and three villagers, so it was very small compared to the nearby Lawington in the nearby Lawington, 27 villagers, and one priest. Ta. The initial rapworth church was built in the late 12th century, consisting of unstable cathedral and small cafes. Nicholas was the director in 1190. Ralph Marshall became the lord of the manor in 1182, when two small mushrooms (Kingswood and Bloom) were located in the parish. The Kita Passage and the Kita Rei chapel were built in 1200, but where did the former come from? The lower part of the southern passage wall is a pink stone on the inside (contrasting the upper 14th century sandstone). Was there a nearby building with one door and font? He is a threatening one with seven deadly sin gargoyls inward. Oxford's Merton College has owned Advavuson since 1270, and is its compartment except for the time owned by Edward I.

There is a chatory chapel at the western end of the church, which can be accessed on two spiral stairs from the outside, not in the church (until 1870). Richard de Montfall dedicated a mass for St. Thoma s-A -Beckett in 1373, with the priest who discovered the church archeological site in 2012. However, since this building is from the 15th century, is it still reconstruction of posterity? The independent tower on the north side (one of the only 50 tower in England) was 1380, and the spire was added in C1470. In 1883, the upper 12 feet was damaged due to a storm. Until 2000, the stone remained darker. There are five bells. Six since 1962. The Kita Rei Chapel was rebuilt in C1466, and in 1470, stairs and new roofs were added to the church. Like many other churches, the attic was removed in the 1550s.

The Lapworth's Mass Litinth Book (17x11 inches, 257 pages of 257 pages) was 1398 and was stored in Oxford's Copath Christie College. After being "discovered" by parish people in 1988, Joy Woodle searched for a lecture in 1999. Although the parish people still refused to browse the Mass liturgy, the university gave a digital copy to the church in 2012. The Katesbee family was the lord of the manor from 1427 to 1598, and during this time he provided many remodeling funds. After Sit William's death, it was sold to Lord Edward Graville and took over to Holtes in Aston Hall.

From 1700 to 1807, the church was struggling, and a "ugly restoration" was held with a box box and a central podium. Later, restored in 1860 and 1872, all of which were caused by G / E. Street, the plaster was peeled off from the wall, the waist gallery was removed, and the tower was attached to the church. The second restoration was estimated to be £ 800, but the result was double. In 1923, a memorial to the war dead was built in the church cemetery designed by Edwin Reynolds. The upper part was damaged by lighting in 1938 and was not replaced. Eric Gil carved a monument to the Florence Brad Show in the Kit a-Ree Chapel and visited the church in 1928.

Richard Wassel, who organized the St. Alfege Church from 1942 to 1949, was the central figure in 1944 the Solifle Art Association. He died on July 17, 1949. His tomb is between the church's main gate and the west gate, but has recently been restored by the association and personal donation. In 1880, he was born in Typton as the son of a casting factory and dropped out of school at the age of 12. He studied church music under Charles Parkins at Birmingham Corporation, and became a 2 9-yea r-old member of the Royal Organist College. From 1914 to 2018, he was a music teacher when King Edward School was on New Street.

Dr. Richard Wassel, Alan Evans

In 1920, he became an organist of St. Martins in the Bling. He also conducted the City Chorus and the Birmingham Chorus Association. The webster booth (who became famous for his wife's duet with his wife Anne Zeguler) is one of his disciples. Richard was also a composer of the hymn (eg, "JESU, The Very Thout of THEE") and also composed the poem (eg, No. 24). He was also active in political activities and was also a music director of the Birmingham Research Institute. He was a Midland music director. From 1922 to 1942, he served as a director of the Birmingham Police Music Corps and was a judge of many music contests. His talent was also recognized by the Kanta Berry Professor, and in 1939 he was awarded Dr. Lambeth.

He was the first director of the association's music department and was eager to hold the competition music festival. Unfortunately, this was 1952 after his death. His wife Annie (September 21, 1950) was buried in the same tomb. The couple have four sons, and the youngest is born in 1918, but only two people are written in the death article. Another mystery is a shakespear e-like inscription at the top of the grave. There is this in the inscription:

Play with me, sweet music.

I can't laugh or sleep with you with a sweet feeling that I was forced to me.

Barnet Johnson (1832-1910) was born in Boston (Links) and became a bank clerk. He retired in 1890 and moved to the Richmond Road terrace house with his family. His glass photos are held in the Birmingham Library.

On the east side of St. Bernard Street, there are Edward morning houses with a yoke number. No. 2 was demolished in 1960 to expand the Warwick Road. There is no tree in the photo. The current Wolvary Green Road was replaced and demolished in 1930, replacing four railways. The road itself was a Warwick Road, which was a zigzag through the village before the straight road was built. A corner shop like a house was a post office that served as a grocery store. In 1920, he became an organist of St. Martins in the Bling. He also conducted the City Chorus and the Birmingham Chorus Association.

Birmingham's wealthy shoe craftsman James Kent leased the 16th century (demolished in 1954) and his 96 acres in 1873 and developed the land. James Kent House was on Richmond Road, a railway and canal. There was a St. Margaret Church School next to it, but it was quickly demolished because it was too narrow. The cottage along the canal was adjacent to the canal bridge. The attractive photograph of the trailer shows the canal water being empty. Richmond Road, which branches north of Lindon Lord, entered a park with a shelter: in the 1904 photo, one of the three Burnet daughters, Katie. The Grand House was not built, but other photos show Richmond Park's houses, one of which the Johnson family lived. Everyone is outside the house, and the other is "Out Porter" from the station. Other photos showed a J. White knife factory on the old Warwick Road. A dust cart in the Soli Rural Rural area that puts garbage in a hole at Richmond Park, and Congress's Invicta steam roller. And steam engine and threshing beside the old grass.

In a discussion after Keith's story, he mentioned Timber Yard, one of the four organized Kartlight. David Patterson (abbreviated) and his father worked there. Next to the dock was QUAIIFE & AMP; amp; Lilley, which manufactured cricket bat (although it did not depend on the canal).

Warlicshire Church and AMP; Stratoford Canal (Adam Pierce Worked)

The Berkswell Church was built in C1170 on the octagonal Anglo Saxo n-style underground cathedral. The photo was taken when SLHC visited, outside of the C1500 frame pouch. The adjacent old (late 17th century) station house was the daughter of the Watson family, who has the father of Rev. Henry. They were enthusiastic about tennis, and their younger mode defeated her sister in Wimbledon's final, and became the first ladies' champion in 1884. She also retained the title in 1885. Berkswell Hall (1663) northwest of the church is now an apartment. Lamb Hall (C1680), which is not well known, has bricks and stone. The last photo is a Furgasson tractor where Ginger Cat is sleeping on the seat.

Photographs of Lapworth Church, some of which were taken during the SLHC visit, included details of the interior and the new Peace Window. Preston Bagot Church, at the top of Hill Top, has an ancient sunburst on the porch and some windows with Burne-Jones figures in clear glass. These were from a Quaker meeting house in Birmingham before it was destroyed in the Second World War. In the hedgerow fields, instead of carpets, there are "Bridal Path" signs.

The Stratford Canal was built in 1810 and most of the bridges are split in half to allow for towing ropes. The lock cottages all have shell roofs, as they were made from repurposed shutters from a road bridge. Next to Rawsonford Cottage is a statue by Anthony Gormley. It was installed for a year as part of a popular arts project. Outside the village post office is a model of Postman Pat. Near Yarningdale Common there is a shorter (12ft) aqueduct where the canal crosses the track. It was originally made of wood but was washed away by leakage from the Great Union Canal. The Ramblers Association, of which Adam has been a member for 25 years, also cleans the path and adds black marks to the waymarks where they have cleaned it. Finally, a photo of Ribsford Church near Bewdley with its fine Norman tympanum painted with beaver-like animals.

Festival of Britain 1951

Lecture by Janice Andrews at the Solihull Local History Circle, 19 November 2018

Britain in the late 1940s was a sad country slowly recovering from the Second World War. The winter of 1946/47 was hard, a million people were unemployed, circulation was still running and housing was in short supply. Newspapers were limited by the scale of the war. Coal was exported to pay off war debts and was in short supply. 40% of the population wanted to emigrate.

Gerald Berry, News Chronicle, suggested that it should celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1851 World Exposition. The Labor Party agreed with this, and the House of Representatives Herbert Morrison said, "stimulate the people." Torree opposed the plan, and Lord Beaver Brook called it "Morrison Fooles." Berry was appointed Secretar y-General of the Project and received the support of Arts Council, Industrial Design Council, and Film Institute. Designer Misha Black and architect Hugh Casson and others conducted a plan. The cost was estimated to be £ 11 million (currently £ 11 million). Many places were considered, including the demolition of Hyd Park and the Scrubs Wormwood Prison, but eventually the 2 7-acre land adjacent to the County Hall and Waterloo station was selected. This site was found to be too narrow, so a leisure garden was added to the Batasy Park (this leisure garden was operated until the mi d-1970s). The contractor was nominated, and o n-site work began in the early 1950s, but was hit by rain in the winter of 1950/51. The management was a military style, and the labo r-management relationship was not good. It was a miracle that the festival opened as scheduled.

King George VI has declared the opening of the festival on May 3 (Thursday) at St. Paul Cathedral. The next day, 98 ticket gates and 1. 200 loudspeakers were installed at the South Bank venue. Admission was 5 shilling and 4 shilling after noon. The average wage at that time was 10 to 10 pounds (currently 6. 65 pounds). Congress has passed the Festival of Britain Sunday, and the fair can be opened 7 days a week. The festival lasted until September and was very popular. Southbank had more than 8. 5 million paid visitors (56 % for visitors from the London suburbs, 7. 5 % of overseas visitors), and 6 million in Pleasure Garden. After the end, the conservative government has withdrawn everything except the festival venue.

The management was a military style, and the labo r-management relationship was not good. It was a miracle that the festival opened as scheduled.

The opening concert, held at the Royal Festival Hall on 4 May, was an all-British concert conducted by Sir Malcolm Sergeant. No architects were among the invited VIPs. In fact, Hugh Casson found a fax cancelling the contract when he got home that night. The elevator in the hall stopped moving with the VIPs inside. Another highlight of the festival was a performance by the Trinidad Steel Band. Noel Coward painted a poppy with the words "Don't Make Fun of the Festival".

The festival's symbol was designed by London graphic artist Abram Games (1914-96). He was paid 300 guineas but was not granted copyright. The logo, featuring Britannia, a compass, the flag and the year, was used by many organisations throughout the UK, both commercial and voluntary.

The Dome of Discovery on the South Bank showcased British efforts to explore the Earth, including the poles and the seas, as well as the universe. Adjacent pavilions displayed the globe (including transport) and the British people (including new schools and sport), while other pavilions displayed television, film and the 1851 Exhibition. Nearby Shot Tower was built in 1826 and had a lighthouse at its top, which flashed daily until closing time and was visible for 45 miles. Skylon was a vertical building of iron and aluminium, designed by Powell & Moya, 300 feet high. A brass courtyard in the Thames Corridor now marks its location. In London, exhibitions included Poplar's Living Architecture (Lansbury Project), Books in South Kensington and special exhibitions at the Science Museum. There was also a travelling exhibition, which travelled in 100 trucks to Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham. The Festival Ship Campania exhibited in ten British ports from May to September. A Festival Fair was held in Birmingham with an entry of 4s. The exhibition focused on architecture, but also featured demonstrations by the Women's Healthy and Cosmetological League. Marshall and Snelgrove produced the same ribbons they had designed for the 1851 Exhibition. Races, horse parades and a pigeon festival were held. The Big Dipper from Sutton Coldfield was moved to London's Pleasure Gardens, but the city never retrieved it.

A great deal of memorabilia was made featuring the festival logo, from magazines, crockery, soap blocks, powder compacts, car badges and even drains. There was even a Skylon 5ft. Bedfordshire villages, such as Oakley, still have the festival logo on their signs. Ken Hewitt gave his own example, pointing out that the 1951 crown coins produced by the Royal Mint do not have the logo.

Little maids and wandering butlers

The household staff of Baddesley Clanton 1880-1923

Lecture given by Jill Cassi at the Solihull Local History Circle, 15 October 2018

Apart from a photograph of the staff from 1905, no bills or household books remain. It was relatively small by the standards of the time. There was a strict hierarchy of servants. The housekeeper was in charge of the female staff, and the next rank was the cook (who may have been male in Victorian times) and the head housemaid. Butlers looked after the male staff, followed by footmen. A housemaid around 40 years old was paid £52 a year, the lowest maid was paid £13 a year. All received tips and free accommodation. Their male counterparts were paid much more. At Hanbury Hall, "you should always give way to family members or senior servants, never speak to your employer except to reply, and never speak to a fellow servant in his presence."

In 1880, the owner of Baddesley Clinton was Marmion Ferrers (1813-84), who had married Rebecca Orpen in Deal in May 1867. They had their wedding breakfast at the Orange Tree in Chadwick End. They stayed with their friends Edward and Lampe and Georgina Dering, who were renting Wootton Wawen Hall while Baddesley was being restored: "the house was covered with plaster and was no place for a newly married bride to live". In 1869, as the Quartet became known, they moved to Baddesley, where Marmion worked as a skier, Rebecca painted and Edward tried to write novels, but was less successful than Georgina. All were devout Roman Catholics, wore black velvet and entertained widely. Georgina died in 1876 and Marmion eight years later. He spent more than he earned from his inheritance, leaving a mortgage of £2. 8 million in today's value. Edward Dering and Rebecca were married on 21 September 1885 at St. Francis of Assisi in Clinton, Baddesley. They entertained Catholic intellectuals at dinner and Catholic groups at lunch. Edward died in 1892, with the mortgage owing £4. 3 million. Rebecca continued to live in the house until her death of old age in September 1923, aged 94.

William Harrison was an agricultural labourer who became a gamekeeper in Baddesley. He and his wife Anna had 11 children. The women known as "Harrison Maids" worked in the household for over 30 years. One of them, Annie, had her first job as a maid for a printing company in Northfield at the age of 13. She "returned home" to Baddesley at the age of 25, becoming a cook for her aunt Elizabeth, who was housekeeper. Romance in the same household was disappointing - she was married to her job - but Elizabeth married the butler, William Blake, in 1880. They lived at home but had no children, and William died in 1890. Two of Annie's sisters also worked at Baddesley, and there is a photograph of the three of them with the staff of Park Farm. Mary Harrison was a housekeeper by 1911, having mischievously written her name on two of the windows. Her brother John ran the still-standing, albeit very genteel, Yew Tree Farm, and was also a local haulier. The other brothers worked as gardeners and labourers.

Charles Hancock (1850-1913) was born as an illegitimate child in Redbury's workhouse. Originally, he was an agricultural worker, but eventually became a soccer player at Sir William Petre (1817-84) at Esex's Ingate Stone Hall. On September 11, 1877, he married Annie Jewell and had five children. She worked under Lord Henry Ripury in Lordon Hall near Bradford and lived in the Clagie Bottom Cottages, but when Charles moved again, Annie had a separate home in Kent for children in 1882. Standing, I worked as a laundry woman. The local houses sent laundry to her, and the Martin Edwards and Charles themselves sent laundry. In 1890, she died at the age of 38 due to a heart disease due to "too much study." Charles currently in London left the children (the eldest daughter was 13 years old) in two local families, and one had sexual activity. By 1891, Charles worked as a "gentleman of a gentleman" under Lord Henry Cilton, a widow in Kenzington. Later, he moved to Breedon Hall in Leicester Shire and became a coach. This was a big ste p-down, but he was able to take the children. He came to Badeslay in 1905 and appeared in the 1911 census. Appeared in the 1911 census.

The Harrison family is still related to Badeslay. John is a room driver. Gem, a descendant of Thomas, who moved to the United States in 1875, visited from San Francisco with his wife Laura. In December 2017, his sister Gale came from the United States to celebrate his 70th birthday in Badesley. Her son also took her young children and came as in the same time as the reunion of the grand Harrison family in 2018. Everyone has expressed great pleasure that their roots are in Badesley Clinton.

The questions and answers after that explained which employees were sleeping in this house. The carriage, the stables, and the gardener lived in the stables. The poor Clubs left the monastery in the village of Badesley, and about six years ago, the number of Rebecca's paintings they received were auctioned.

Soliflu and Hapsburgs

Lecture by Ian Synchrare held in the Soli Remodeling History Circle on September 17, 2018

Notburga Tilt (1923-2015) was a remarkable woman who lived in Olton from 2004 until her death. She was a member of the extended Habsburg family and married five times. Born in Austria, she joined the Austrian Freedom Fighters/Czech Republic against the Nazis at the age of 15. At one point, hiding in her aunt's basement, desperately hungry, she ate a goldfish. She was imprisoned several times and, in early 1945, tortured by the Gestapo. After the war, she became an opera singer and was a friend of Franz Lehar. Her first marriage was to a stormtrooper who was killed in action. Her second marriage was to an Austrian doctor. And her third marriage was to Fred, a British soldier in the occupying forces, whom she divorced after moving to England. Her husband was Edward Tilt, borough president, and they had a daughter, Nina, who still lives locally. After Tilt's death, she married Mr Cheetham. She wrote three books between 1972 and 2001, and is featured in this book.

Her cousin was Archbishop Marcus von Habsburg, born in Austria in 1948. He was the eleventh child of Archduke Hubert (1894-1974), who was the grandson of Emperor Franz Joseph through his mother. Marcus had two sons and a daughter and lives in Kaiserwil, Bad Ischl, where Franz Joseph signed the declaration of war against Serbia in 1914. Marcus visited Solihull a few years ago. The day before his arrival he enjoyed a feast with his cousin for the Duke of Edinburgh, and afterwards, at a religious meal in the Solihull Methodist Church, he discovered himself to be as fervent a Roman Catholic as his ancestors.

Between 1848 and 1918, during the revolutions across Europe, the House of Habsburg was full of tragedies. Count Rudolf, originally of Swiss descent, became Holy Roman Emperor in 1273, and in 1806 changed his title to Emperor of Austria. The Empire was vast, including Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, Galicia, Transylvania, and Bosnia. Its capital was Vienna. The single-headed eagle of the Habsburgs should not be confused with the double-headed eagle of the Romanovs. In 1848, Hungary revolted, and 18-year-old Franz Joseph succeeded the throne upon the abdication of his uncle. He reformed the government and ruled for 68 years. In 1854, he married the Bavarian beauty Elisabeth, known as Sissi (sister of "Mad" Ludwig), and had four children. Her behavior became more erratic, and she left home to wander Europe until her assassination in 1898. His son Rudolf, born in 1858, murdered his lover Maria Vetsera in Mayerling in 1889 and was later killed himself. Franz Joseph's nephew and successor, Archbishop Franz Ferdinand (1863-1914), was killed by a snake along with his wife in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and World War I began. Franz Joseph died in November 1916 at Schönbrunn Palace near Vienna (his birthplace). He was succeeded by the last emperor, Charles (1887-1922), who abdicated in 1918. War and the Spoils Cults, Castles and Churches Discussion by Jan Cooper at the Solihull Local History Circle on 16 April 2018 Geoffrey de Clinton, treasurer of Henry I, received land from the manor of Stoneleigh in 1119 to build a castle and settlement at Kenilworth, partly in compensation for Warwick Castle, where the baron had been a rebel. The abbey hosted the Black-robed Augustinians, all of whom were ordained, but who travelled to nearby churches for worship, making it popular with the landowners. Maxstoke and Studley were other Augustinian monasteries. There were two large lakes near the castle, where fishing was possible on Thursdays. The Augustinians had both religious and secular duties. They acted as castle lords in the Augustinians' absence, and in particular collected the associated taxes.

In the 13th century, King John was in trouble with the Baron and spent 1. 100 pounds between 1205 and 15 years to improve Kenylworth's defense. The castle tower was 30 feet higher, the attached wooden buildings were replaced with stone, and a curtain wall with a tower on the north and east side was built. Henry III gave the castle to his sister Elenoa, and Eleanor married French Laster Simon de Montfall and lived in the castle as a family. However, Simon fell with the king and occupied the castle in the battle of Lewis in May 1264. In 1265, Congress was convened in Kenylworth, and for the first time, in addition to the Baron and the Bishop, the knights and city council members participated. Simon lost in the battle of Ivham in August 1265 and died. The king threatened all rivals, but Kenylworth Castle Castle's Castle Lord Edward Hastings has declared only the castle of Simon's widow.

The king sieged the castle in March 1266 and stayed at a monastery with the Queen, the Bishop, the Court, and the mediator. Approximately 1, 200 women and children, including women and children, resident, and procured crops and livestock from the neighborhood, so they were initially available. The king's group also applied great pressure on local production. The negotiations failed, and the rebels disappeared. In December 1266, hunger finally surrendered. The king and the court abandoned Kenylworth on the 15th and left a poor swelling.

The castle then passed to the Earls of Lancaster. Thomas, 2nd Earl (1298-1322) built a water tower and a chapel in the outer bailey. John of Gaunt (1361-99) built a magnificent great hall, state apartments and a gatehouse, and improved the gatehouse, which became a priory in 1447. Henry V spent his childhood at Kenilworth, and returned often between campaigns. A pleasure was built for him in 1418. Henry VI was also a frequent visitor, and Henry VIII added some works. However, Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, and the abbey was surrendered on 5 April 1538. The lead from the roof was sold, and the stone was eventually used in the castle. The missal is now in Chichester, the cartulary in the British Library, and the chair at Halford. The land was eventually acquired by Robert Dudley, who was created Earl of Leicester by Queen Elizabeth in 1563.

He spent a great deal of money on renovating the castle and building a new gate. The Queen visited Kenilworth in 1566 and 1568, staying with Robert's brother Ambrose in Warwick. She stayed at Kenilworth Castle in 1572 and again in 1575 for 19 days, visiting St Nicholas Church three times. After Robert's penance, the castle was returned to the royal family, and James gave it to his daughter-in-law Henrietta Maria. After the Civil War, the castle saw little use, was left "in disrepair" and drained. The castle is now part of English Heritage. The abbey ruins were excavated and recorded in the 1920s, but were covered over again in 1963. It is owned by Kenilworth District Council.

Charles Evans, Rector of Solihull 1872-1894 Lecture given by Joy Woodall at the Solihull Local History Circle, 19 March 2018

Charles Evans was born in Coventry in 1824 and educated at King Edward's School in Birmingham. The school was rebuilt in New Street in 1837 to a design by Barry and Lampe Pugin, who also designed the Houses of Parliament. The headmaster was the Reverend James Leigh, who had studied under Dr Arnold of Rugby. Charles's contemporaries included Edward Benson (who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1883), Joseph Lightfoot (Bishop of Durham in 1879), and Brooke Westcott (who founded the School Magazine and later served as Bishop of Durham from 1890). As for mathematics, the school only taught arithmetic, and Charles is thought to have been trained in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

In 1843, Charles won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge. He became a Craven Scholar in 1846 and graduated as a senior optimus in 1847. He was promoted to master in 1850 and later became a fellow of the college. In 1848 he was appointed vice-master of Rugby. He worked under Dr. Tait (who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1868). Charles married Tait's daughter that same year and was ordained a deacon.

In 1861 he was appointed headmaster of Clifton College, but the school then offered him the position of headmaster, which Charles preferred. He was very successful there, adding science to the curriculum, increasing student numbers and instituting Speech Day. His memory for people and events was remarkable. His eldest son, Charles, was born in 1854 and by the 1871 census he had five sons. His household had ten servants.

In 1863, Charles bought land in Lord Lane, Solihull, where he employed J. A. Chatwin (architect of the King Edward Trust and a former schoolmate) to design a house which he called the Hermitage. By 1868 he had moved in, but his stay was probably short, as the 1871 census records the family as still living in the headmaster's house in New Street. A circular observatory was built in the field behind Charles Hermitage, to accommodate a telescope. Charles Evans was born in Coventry in 1824 and educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, which was rebuilt in New Street in 1837 to designs by Barry & Lampe Pugin, designers of the Houses of Parliament. The headmaster was the Reverend James Leigh, who had studied under Dr Arnold of Rugby. Charles had some of the most prominent contemporaries of his time, including Edward Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury in 1883), Joseph Lightfoot (Bishop of Durham in 1879), and Brooke Westcott (who founded a school magazine for Charles and later served as Bishop of Durham from 1890). As for mathematics, Charles is thought to have been trained in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as only arithmetic was taught at school.

In 1843, Charles won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge. He was a Craven Scholar in 1846, and graduated as a senior optimus in 1847 with a BA. He was promoted to MA in 1850 and later became a Fellow of the College. In 1848, he was appointed Vice-Master of Rugby. He worked under Dr. Tait (Archbishop of Canterbury in 1868). Charles married Dr. Tait's daughter in the same year, and was ordained a deacon.

His eldest son, Charles, was born in 1854, and by the 1871 census he had five sons. His household had ten servants.

In 1863 Charles bought land in Lord Lane, Solihull, where he employed J. A. Chatwin (an architect for the King Edward Trust and a former schoolmate) to design a house which he called The Hermitage. By 1868 he had moved in, but it was probably only a short stay, as the 1871 census records the family as still living in the Headmaster's house in New Street. A circular observatory had been built in the field behind Charles' Hermitage, to house a telescope. Charles Evans was born in Coventry in 1824 and educated at King Edward's School in Birmingham.

As for mathematics, the school only taught arithmetic, and Charles is thought to have been trained in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

In 1872, the Soli Remains Director Patrick Smilee died. Two years ago, the parasial council was sold to Thomas Walker in Berkswell, and he appointed Charles as a pad. Charles and their families left Hermitage and decided to live in bitter. The parish was large, the area was about 12. 300 acres, and the population was 4. 000. It was divided into seven "ends" (later 10) for highway maintenance, and each surveyor was placed (from 1623). After the dissolution of St. Alfegu, the funds used to maintain it belonged to 10 focus, and Febefe managed the parish finance, led by parish officials. Feopie established a men's grammar school in Malvan House in 1560, and in 1812, a new school for girls and infants was established in the Old School Lane in 1812. In 1834, a management committee was established to supervise the welfare of the poor. The committee built a union workshop in 1838 in collaboration with the other 10 parish. In 1872, it became the Soli Rich Hygiene Bureau, and drainage and sewerage were added to the responsibilities.

Charles found the St. Alfege Church in a terrible state. The ivy covered the wall, and the stone was adversely affected. He closed the church for 15 months, removed the ivy, relocated the organ to the South Request, so that the corridor at the western church was dismantled to see the windows. A new rat has been installed. The cost of the whole project was less than 3. 000 pounds. When the railway was opened in 1852 and the Solifle station was opened, the population began to increase, and in 1870, a school with a school was opened in Bentley Heath. The Balsor Common had a convenient chapel, but in 1879, Charles persuaded Gilot of New Berry Hall and paid the construction costs of Catherine de Burns Chapel.

Charles was more attentive to his parishioners than his predecessors, and was particularly keen on education. An act in 1870 introduced education for children aged 5 to 13, but children often worked away from their parents (especially in the summer). In 1872 Mr Gillott was persuaded to buy land in Mill Lane for a boys' school, the total cost of which, including buildings, was £2. 198, and it was designed for 100 boys divided into three classes, aged 5-9, 9-11 and 11-14. The headmaster taught the warden, who in turn taught the other boys. Fees were $1 a day. An act in 1892 made education free. Solihull had had many private schools for at least a century, but by 1890 only one remained, run by Mrs Edwards. Solihull Grammar School received its own governing body from the Feoffies in 1879, and Charles became a trustee. He served as president until his retirement as headmaster in 180. In June 1882, the school moved to new premises in Warwick Road (cost £4, 022).

The Parish Magazine, first published in 1880, contained details of church services as well as reports of events and local societies, social announcements, and local history articles. It cost $2 and was widely distributed. Charles became president of the newly formed Solihull Literary Society in 1883, arranging lectures and debates by prominent people. In the same year, he opened a Men's Reading Room in Maltshovel (now Missoula), providing books, readings, and even songs. The Town Hall, at St Alphege's Church in the Square, was demolished in 1879 (cost £12) and replaced by a new public hall (now Witherspoons) built in 1876 in Poplar Road for £2, 500. Charles was instrumental in building a chapel in Drury Lane next to Touchwood Hall in 1885. A large garden attached to the prayer yard was used for regular worship.

There were many groups doing good work locally, and Charles encouraged many of them. The Ladies' Charity Society raised money for the poor. The Nursery Fund helped babies and infants, and the Sewing Group (with 50 members) made clothes for the poor. Money was raised for Mrs Evans' Children's Home (cost £1, 200), which opened in 1881 in Widney Manor Road (now occupied by NOS 50 & amp; 51A). There were also several friendly societies for men, such as the Odd Fellows and the Caledonian Caucus, which met in Royal Oak.

In 1894, Charles retired in a pool in Dawess after becoming a priest. He died in 1904 at the age of 80.

Cavalia dog and rogue rogue

A discussion held by Mary Bodfish in the Solifle Local History Circle on February 19, 2018

Charles I was convinced that the king ruled by God's right was an inappropriate politician and operated an expensive court. He tried to tax it without consulting with Congress, which was not recruited from 1629 to 1640. At this time, there were three powers: King's 5th Council, the British Church against the Kiyokan, and the economic operatives. Not all members of the Diet were Puritan, but all Puritan were members of the Diet. Generally, the government government supported the King Congress and the Towns Fork Congress. Birmingham and Black Country produced swords and guns, all sent to Congress. The THOMAS PARKES of Smes Wick has donated £ 20. Roman Catholic Thomas Levison, a royal party, sent his armor to Tanner, but Tanner refused to return and was beaten by Levison.

Charles flaged at Nottingham Castle on August 22, 1642 and headed to Oxford via Derby and Stafford. Charles stayed for two nights with Colonel Levison near Walbar Hampton, then moved to Aston Hall and stayed under Lord Thomas Horte. The Birmingham men captured the royal luggage trains and brought them to the Warlic Castle held by the police.

The king's 2 3-yea r-old nephew, Prince Ruper, was appointed as the equestrian general. He was planning to meet the king in Solifle in early 1642, but he had a skirmish in Kings Norton. Later, the police said that they had killed 50 royalists, but they were propaganda, and there was no record of burial ledger. King is thought to have passed Solihal while staying in Lord Lee. On October 23, the battle of the edgehill was unable to win or lose, and the king headed to London. Roman Catholic, Queen Henriette Maria, sought to donate jewelry to court women, and left England with jewelry to raise funds in the Netherlands. She returned to Bridrinton, stayed in York during the winter, and went south in the spring of 1643. He had 3, 000 artillery squads and 30 horses.

Meanwhile, Colonel Levison moved from Walbar Hampton to the Dadley Castle Guard. Later, Lord William Breton occupied the town for Congress. The Rich Field had already been stationed. On April 2, 1643, Prince Rupert climbed Stratford Street, but Delide's barricade refused to enter Birmingham. After overcoming this, Lord Denbee hunted down the Wirk Corps to Camps Hill (now Cape Hill, the current smartwick), and the Kempo was stuck there. Lord Denbee died in this brawl, but his son was a jockey of the Kempai. Prince Lupert entered Birmingham, drunk, raped, and looted, and was destroyed by on e-third of the town. On e-third of the town was burned down. The king scolded the prince, but the prince continued to occupy Richfield.

The Queen heads to the royal mansion Kings Norton via Seameswick and Halborn to avoid Birmingham via Burton on Trent, Walsole (Rushal Hall), to the royal mansion Kings Norton (now Sarasen's head) I stayed overnight. The pastor of the Kiyoshikyo said that she was "fat" in her army, who is ahead of the roof of the church. Later, I headed to Stratford to meet Prince Rupert.

Colonel John Fox founded a parliamentary horse. He occupied edgebuston in October 1643, and his subordinates took out ammunition lead from the roof of the church. Fox arrived on Christmas day after Lord Thomas Horte convened the royal army to protect Aston Hall. The next day, the hall was looted, the church was attacked, and Holte's property was confiscated. In May 1644, Colonel Fox and Lord Denby siege Dadrid Castle, but were repelled by the royal family three weeks later.

The looted troops of the two camps caused the buildings to be severely damaged, eating crops in the fields. The farmland was abandoned, and both sides demanded taxes. Robert Wilmot in Sumeswick manages the parliamentary funds in Staffordshire, and his books remain. At one point, he collected 54-1-4 pounds, but counted only 22-11-0 pounds. He believed his honesty and he was pardon. On June 14, 1645, Thomas Fairfax broke Prince Rupert in the Battle of Nashby and began the end of the royal family. Meanwhile, Colonel Levison moved from Walbar Hampton to Dadley Castle's garrison. Later, Lord William Breton occupied the town for Congress. The Rich Field had already been stationed. On April 2, 1643, Prince Rupert climbed Stratford Street, but Delide's barricade refused to enter Birmingham.

In 1646, Levison ordered the Dadley's St. Edmand Church to demolish to protect the castle. Sir William Bureleton arrived from Richfield, but Suropshire Foot soldiers had not paid for several weeks and refused to attack the castle. Sir William went to Birmingham to get cash, and during that time the soldiers "rest" at the ruined Dadley Monastery. At the castle, the secon d-generation governor's wife, Dorothy Beaumont, was born.

Dridge history

Discussion held by Elaineer in the Soli Remodeling History Circle on January 15, 2018

On the map of the knowl's house in 1850, farms were lined up in the current dridge (ridge lived by wild animals). Several farms, such as Norton Green, still remain, but the original Blue Lake House (used for the opposition rally in the 17th century) was demolished in 1963. The Bentley Farm in Mill Lane had a moat, and on the other side was a windmill that was built in 1820, losing sails in the 1880s and remodeled into steam. Many of the land were owned by G. F. Mants I, who had made goods in brass alloy "Muntze's Metal", and lived in Umberslade. The street name was different now. Mans had built a station on the Birmingham Oxford land, allowed to sell, and stopped the London Express trains every day and could use it. This lasted until 1948. Knowl station opened on October 1, 1852. Later, he was renamed the knowl & dridge station and returned to the knowl station in 1862. It was rebuilt in the 1930s and is now called a dridge. In the 1890s, Railway Village in the C10s and 20s gradually developed around the station. The Forest Hotel was built in 1866 and had bowling green that allows you to eat and stay before returning to the ambassador (when you arrive in the 1890s, the knowl phone number 1), and many of the station approaches. There was a store. These include the following

From 1852 to 1918, businessmen from Birmingham moved to the area, including the Jack family, a photographer, and is now useful. After the death of the neighboring landowner John Stubbs in 1876, Ms. Ms. Ms. Ms. Mans bought a land on the south side of the railway and bought land on the north before dying in 1896. His son G. F. Mans II has allowed development. In 1878, two lands were laid for the villa. Arden Road has a thre e-story Bankford, and Knowle Grove has Slope. Four large hal f-family houses were built at the southern end of the station. After that, there was a cottage known as a rabbit hut. Avenue Road (at the time called Warwick Road) appeared in 1904. During World War I, the Red Cross was active in the former Church.

In addition to the forest, there were a number of inns in the dridge, all of which were for railway transport workers. The grape garden in 1866 was closed in 1930 and became Midland Bank. Four Ash's Road drums and monkeys were originally called White Lions. The name changed because the new sign was like a monkey. The railway izakaya, which was at the corner of Windmill Lane and Grunge Road, was the largest railway site.

The original North Packwood Brick Mission Church, built in 1878, remains as St. Philip Church donated 100 pounds by Pacwood's Philip Wikiham Marten. A magnificent church built in a high kayak by J. A. Chatwine in 1894, and the church was originally on the church land to avoid future financial burden. The pastorkan on the manners road was rebuilt in 1928 by W. H. The small parish was separated from the knowl in 1966. Roman Catholic opened a rally in the chapel in the John Hardman garden since 1905. He was the president of the famous fourth generation church metal processing and stained glass company. The first church in 1917 was dedicated to St. George and St. Teresia. The first church in 1917, dedicated to St. Teresa, was burned down in 1934, but was quickly rebuilt. The Methodist held a rally in the Terapine hut at the Bentley Farm in Mill Lane in the 1960s, and was rebuilt in 1963 into a brick church. In addition to the Forest, there were several accommodations in the dridge, all of which were for railway transport workers. The grape garden in 1866 was closed in 1930 and became Midland Bank. Four Ash's Road drums and monkeys were originally called White Lions. The name changed because the new sign was like a monkey. The railway izakaya, which was at the corner of Windmill Lane and Grunge Road, was the largest railway site.

The original North Packwood Brick Mission Church, built in 1878, remains as St. Philip Church donated 100 pounds by Pacwood's Philip Wikiham Marten. A magnificent church built in a high kayak by J. A. Chatwine in 1894, and the church was originally on the church land to avoid future financial burden. The pastorkan on the manners road was rebuilt in 1928 by W. H. The small parish was separated from the knowl in 1966. Roman Catholic opened a rally in the chapel in the John Hardman garden since 1905.

From 1918 to 1945, the Avenue and Dridge Street on the east side of the station, the Widney Street and Mill Lane on the north were expanded. Many shops have also been created on the station road. The coal trader moved from the pier on the canal to the yard around the station. The horse's transport box also arrived at the station, but the horse was traveled to the Charlie Racecourse after traveling. The livestock market was held every Wednesday at the canal pier. Sometimes cows ran on manners roads, and they ate flowers and young bushes except for grassing. Pitts taxi at the station was still pulling a horse. Dr. Hildic was the first physician in Droitz. He was also an enthusiastic fox hunter. In 1920, the Boy Scout Corps was formed. The Midlands Countice Foundation was opened in 1866 and contained 300 intellectual disabilities. In particular, after World War I, the locals received great support and was advertised as "for the middle class idiots." It developed into a middle field hospital and was taken over by NHS in 1948, but was closed in 1994. According to government policies, patients were housed in the local community and the site was renovated as a house.

After World War II, development progressed, the Victoria and Edward morning villas were demolished, and it was rebuilt into eas y-t o-handle houses with a large garden. Grunge roads on the south side of the station were also developed, and old farm buildings were rebuilt into private houses. The children were always going to school by Bentry Heath or Knowl, but in 1955, the dridge school opened, and in 1958, the current Academy of Academy, Arden, opened. This year, the Square was built in the coal storage area of the True Robe, but before that, True Robe took over the business to Ibson's. In 1950, a 1. 30 0-pound luxury car Malaki was manufactured in this village. The Dridge Park opened in 1969.

From 1918 to 1945, Trevor England's Packwood Hall

Pacwood was not listed on Domes Day, but a villager who moved from Wa s-Ponic to Avon Valley came to the Arden forest to collect firewood, formed a settlement. This led to the fragmentary waste of waste. England's population increased from 2. 5 million in the 12th century to 5 million in 2014, just before the 1349 black death. During this time, 6, 000 farms were surrounded by gutters, most of which were in the Midland region. In many cases, the purpose of defense, but the number of prestige is increasing. The Coventory Benedict House has both Wa s-Ponic and Pacwood, and the church (dedicated to St. Jiles) was built in 1300. According to 1410 documents, Pacwood is a manor with a large forest consisting of three wooden trees, and it is recorded that there were butlers and managers.

The hall was built in the early 16th century, and on a site of 84 x 58 meters, it is unknown for defense or anything else, but is surrounded by 12 meters wide. Initially, the church on the east side of the hall could only go on a bridge on the moat. The H-shaped plane in the hall was covered with bricks in the 19th century, but original wood was exposed on the back of the north wing. The accumulated chimney, like the roof line, is original. The barge board and the extension part are in the Victorian dynasty style.

The Cornwallis family is the lord of this manor and may have lived in the hall. The 5th Count's Daughter Lady Gemima (died in 1836) married Charles Waika m-Martin. His son Philip (1829-78) was a Locator of Rochester and became the lord of the manor. The clan continued as the lord until the last clan without the heir gave land to the leasers. Except for one person-because he was a woman. From 1947 to 1949, he served as Mayor Birmingham, the youngest, and in 1958, the chairman of Tarmax and Warlicshire's hig h-security officer lived in Packwood Hall. My wife, Ashura, donated the surplus land to the church when the church was full. He died at the age of 98 in September 2012, but was kicked out of the hall when Richard Racey, the highest executive of the National Home Loan, purchased a hole in 1986. The hall was designated as Grade II in February 1990 (Church is Grade II*). The current owner of Mr. Ram and his wife opened the garden to support the St. Jile's Church one day (collected 1. 500 pounds).

Church Hill (1914) had a bank on both sides of the sinked path. Lectory Farm (1907) contains Lectory Beyond, an archer clive, built in 1833 and demolished in 1933. The interior of STALPHEGE'S CHURCH (1905) is an Iron Screen in ST CATHERINE'S CHAPEL, which is now seen east of the 1720s donated by Anthony Holbeche. The exterior was replaced with the coil falling into the church in the 1857 storm. From the tower, in addition to the view of the high street (1908), you can see the War Monument (1921) and the Free Boys' School that opened in 1850. George's facade (1905) can identify the age because the gas leaked was lost at the end of the year. The green bowling alley has a history of 1693, and the trees have a history of 600 years.

High Street was Great Western Muse, which was built in 1888 and demolished in 1932. William Radbroke was promoting brakes, fixtures, and ceremonial occasion services, as well as as a flying flyer. The bodhi tree outside the place, which is currently called Manner House, was planted in 1720 and was replanted in 1914. Gordon Blug's Wales uncle appears in Pony and Trap (1912). Silhill House (1903) was originally a farm, and was rebuilt by Thomas Chatock. Destroyed in 1925. The St. Augustin Church (1904) was designed by Pugin in 1839. Along the Blossom Field Road is Tudor Grunge (1905), a picture of the same era of paintings owned by Alain Evans.

Poplar Road had an assembly room built in 1876 for £ 2, 500, and there was a court on the first floor. On the south side, there was a Police house built in 1982 on behalf of the New Road's former police station. The Poplar House, which was derived from the street name, was on the north side of Warwick Road. There were 21 poplar trees, but were demolished in the 1930s. Beyond it was Rev. Charles Evans, who was appointed pastor and lived before he moved to Soli Rectory, 1905. Oton Mill was built before 1800 and was demolished in 1960 with the widening of Road Lane.

The Golden Lion (1905) on Warwick Road was rebuilt in 1935 and is opposite the Congregational Christ Church which stood from 1887 to 1963. Solihull School (1906) was built in 1879-82 to a Chatwin design. Malvern Hall (1907) became Solihull Girls' High School in 1931. Across the village is Sandals Bridge, named after a 13th century rector, Warwick Street, which was widened in 1924. Knowle station (1908) opened next to a private house in 1852, but the area developed rapidly and George Mantz built the Forest Hotel to provide accommodation for those arriving too late to return to Umberslade Hall.

Lecture by Chris Pitt at Solihull Local History Circle, 16 October 2017

The first local race was likely held at Coleshill in 1711. A better known example is a two-day race at Road Heath in 1780 (the same year the Derby began). The race took place daily, with three lines over about three miles. The owner of Holly Bush acted as sergeant of the course, taking entries and handing out a daily prize of 50 guineas. In the early days of the race, it was always held in a local pub, as the owner held a liquor licence.

In the 19th century, race meetings were held in several locations around Birmingham, including Digbeth and Handsworth (which had three courses). Women have only been allowed to ride as jockeys since 1972, but on 30 August 1880, a pony race meeting was held at Small Heath, where a prize of £12 was awarded to a female jockey (though no name was given). In fact, some horse owners were probably women, but used male names. Sutton Park had three racecourses, one of which, near Four Oaks, had five impressive grandstands, and a race in March 1881 attracted more than 20, 000 spectators. When Four Oaks station opened, a road was built from there to the racecourse. The last race was held there in 1889, and it was demolished a year later, and is now home to the Four Oaks Tennis Club. In 1973, Aintree was struggling and was to be sold for retail development, and Bob Barnes offered to redevelop the Grand National course at Sutton Park. However, nothing came of it as the park authority and Sutton Coldfield Borough Council opposed it, and Aintree remained.

In 1752, Break and Ocalahan challenged a straight race connecting St. John's Church in Buttevant (Cork) with the bell tower and the Donerille Church in Donerille. This is the origin of the Steeple Chase. On March 14, 1836, a Steeple Chase was held in Bar Beacon, and Sir Edward Scott rode. The Birmingham disorder race moved to Oscot (where the current college is now), and then moved to Knowle. At first, Hampton Station (William Archer in 1852 riding in 1852 and won the Cheltnam Gold Cup the following year), and in 1853 it reached 0. 5 miles from the dridge station. In 1855, he moved to Ashton Park, but nearly the battle of Climia's Alma was reproduced. The players rejected the race because the audience was drunk and no police prevented or disordered. The race returned to the knowl in 1856 and moved to the Suton Coldfield in 1857 and was held every year until 1872. From 1873 to 1891, it was held in Pacchington, where the current golf course is.

Oton has a 1. 5-mile course from 1875 to 1980, one miles from the station, and is now a golf course. Hall Green, which was recently closed for dog racing, was running horse racing in Gospel Lane from 1871 to 1910. There are two stands, and on Monday, 1902, the Birmingham Post Paper reported that there were many crowds to celebrate the end of the Bore War. The Yadery Racing Club lasted four months in 1916. The club has six pony races in Billsley Common to increase the morale of the army and factory workers during vacation. As a result, a race was planned from 3:30 pm. However, Sir Kitchner drowned on June 5, and all games, including Epsom and New Markets, were canceled.

Charlie had a course from 1895 to March 11, 1940 where a meeting, including the racetrack, was held. He revived after the war, but went bankrupt in 1948. The following year, George Featherston built an indoor sports center in the course (approved by the Solihall Council) and proposed a motor racing course (the council was refused), but ended in 1953.

Bromford Bridge was rented in a racetrack in 1894 from Count Bradford's land. John & Stanley Ford, which saved the nottering and Lincoln course, held the first event in June 1895 (flat) and December (jumping horse). The course is a flat straight line 1 mile. The safflements ignited two teams. The Golden Miller, who won the Chelt Nam Gold Cup from 1932 to 36, raced twice in Bromford. After the bombing World War II, the race was resumed, and Gordon Richards (I was told not to get rid of the riding in front of St. Leisure, so I won the tw o-headed race, which was the slowest race. ) Many famous jockeys, including Leicester Pigotto and Josh Giford, have appeared. In 1950, the world's longest bar (330 feet) was set up on the Grand Stand, and famous pop stars performed in the mound between races. Michael Lynch was a famous Talekomi, with an evening meeting. Admission is free for women, and baby cream has been prepared. All these initiatives were to attract people. Many people came to Bromford Bridge Station on the train and from a large area to coaches. Queen Mother was not once or twice. However, the last few years have faded because they liked the players to move from nearby factories.

The discussion after the discussion (no slide) mentioned the racetracks of the 1890s off the coast of Warwick Street near Broad Oaks, and pointed out points. These were usually 3 miles in total, and they were not permanent for a permanent building all day, not allowed by professional jockeys, and were valuable for both jockeys and horses.

Walk along the Soli Ryal canal

On September 18, 2017, Laurence Ince discussed at Solihull Local History Cycle.

Olton Reservoir was built in 1799 as a reservoir for the Birmingham-Warwick Canal, using prisoners of war from the Napoleonic Wars. At least four streams flow into it and it was earth-banked until 1933, when it was replaced by a concrete bank for added safety as houses continued to grow nearby. A controlled access to the canal was down Warwick Road, past a former blacksmith's shop. A shop was built there in 1877 and a church a few years later. In 1934 it became the site of an organ-making company, and in 1991 a bridal showroom. The nearby wooden iron bridge was replaced by a steel one in the 1930s, making the reservoir a little smaller.

In the 1890s, three neighbours, John Florence of 29 St Bernard Road and James Heaton (No. 26), asked the canal company to allow them to build sailing boats, fish, bathe and shoot. These residents were given direct access to the path from their own gardens. A clubhouse and caretaker's reservoir were built. In 1900, a gardener, Mr Mintram, was appointed and his wife handed out tea for a dollar to visitors. During the Second World War, booms were installed along the reservoir to scare off potential invaders. Today, a pass to unlock the barrier costs £60 per year to walk around the reservoir (now called Plain and owned by a sailing ship). There are 40 fishing pegs. An attempt to introduce trout failed due to herons, but carp were successful. Nudist swimming was held for a short period in the 1960s, and a drought in 1976 caused the water to almost completely evaporate.

Further south along the canal were several wharves. The first was Olton, near where a facility is currently trying to keep out knotweed (which grows up to 20cm a day) and where there are some gas points under trailers to show the path of gas. The second was Henwood, where debris from the canal washed up. The bricks on the south side of Henwood Lane Bridge (no. 25) have grooves in them from towing a rope around the inside of a bend. The third was COPT Heath, where fuel was available, and Wharf Cottage was once used for setting horses and Waterside Cottage opposite ran a boat hire business.

Kikusley Wurf was named after the President of the Middle Ages, Knowl University. The knowour wharf, which opened in 1800, is used for coal and has an unusual pair (made by Pooley & Amp; Sons). Currently, the building and repair business of boats is flourishing, and there is a convenient free parking lot. A total of 42 feet of the knowl lock. In the past, there were six, but now it is five, each with a large pond. The two pump motor houses had a tall chimney, but the latter disappeared before 1930, and electricity now pumped water to the top of the lock. The lock machine was written as Westminster Samuel Baker, but he was a consultant engineer, not a manufacturer. The current roc k-up cottage was built using electricity in the 1930s and was replaced with original ones.

The Heronfield Wharf is south of the knowl lock, and there is a black boy on the canal pub. The name of this pub was named after Charles II was a sloppy person. It was later renamed Herons Nest, and is now Kings Arms.

Another canal in Solihall was in the Stratford Canal, which was gradually constructed in 1793 and completed in 1816. The water is supplied from three reservoirs adjacent to the 8 5-acres of the 8 5-acres open in 1823. Because it was lower than the water level of the canal, it covers the engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, engine, 85 acros. A house containing a beam engine based on the original plan by Wat was built. It was replaced by hydraulic type in the 1950s. The feeder enters the canal at Lady Lane Wharf. Near the hocky Heath, there was now an electric pedigree (not a turning bridge). Kingswood was connected to the Birmingham Warwick Canal in 1802. The old canal company was particular about the locks in the connection part to put water in a larger canal. The continuation of the canal from Kingswood to Strutford was not started until 1812. The cottages of rock keepers are barrel roofs using the same curve as tunnels (many of them can still be seen now), and small iron bridges are to pass horses when the canal and the trailer are separated. The hole is open in the middle. The canal restoration began shortly after World War II.

Baizen Village Wrap Worth

On April 11, 2017, Joy Woodall at Solihull Local History Circle

Lapworth was a wild heath in the Middle Ages, with a stream flowing from the north to the River Blyth and thence to the River Trent, and a stream to the south to the River Avon and the River Severn. There is an Iron Age hill fort, known locally as Haborough Banks (see map by Hannet 1860). In AD 125 there was a tile kiln south of Kingswood, and the Romans lived in the area. The first written record of Lapworth (meaning edge enclosure) is a grant by the King of Mercia to the Bishop of Worcester in 816. It was on the edge of his parish, adjacent to the border with Lichfield. In 1036 the bishop gave it to Harlwyn as a reward for accompanying him in marriage to King Canute's daughter to Saxony. By 1086, three families lived on the land now held by Harlwyn's son Baldwin, and it was worth 20 shillings.

The Marshalls became lords of the manor in the late 12th century, and were succeeded by Henry Pippard, who died in 1258. His daughter Cecily married Thomas de Bishopden, and his grandson, Sir John, had the Stone House built to his exact specifications in 1313 by John Pesham of Lowington and the taxidermist William Horse. The house was 40 feet long and 18 feet wide, with rooms (11 feet high) on either side of a central entrance. On the first floor was a 9-foot-high "master bedroom" with two fireplaces and two closets under a pitched roof. Sir John provided the stone, timber (with carpenters), sand and lime. It was completed within a year. It cost £430-440. A nearby quarry was used as a fishpond.

In 1369 the manor, its park and estates were naturally divided between the daughters of the recently deceased Sir Hugh Brandeston. Rose married Richard de Montfort, who held the seat, and Agnes married Philip de Aylesbury. Rose lived until 1427, when her daughter Margaret married Sir John Catesby. By 1480 her son William had regained the whole estate, and Richard III granted him a further 600 acres. However, he was executed for treason in 1487 and all his lands were confiscated. His son George restored all his lands in 1495. Sir Thomas Holte purchased Lapworth in 1602, but he and his descendants preferred to live at Aston Hall. Lapworth Park was divided into two farms and leased, as were the other lands. Due to the agricultural depression, many tenants were unable to pay their rent, and it was not until the 1770s, under the Lister family, that the estate began to balance its books.

The first description of the St. Maria Church was 1190, and at that time it was a simple rectangle without a passage. The small Cantee Chapel at the west end could enter and exit on the stairs, but could not enter the church. Established in 1373 by Sir Richard de Monfort. Since 1275, Oxford's Merton College has been a lawyer, but the pastor was often absent and the lord of the manor was absent. The ministers, which were built opposite the church in 1793, but are now being demolished, were used by successive trustees (among them, the priest Owen Bonel, which survived from 1750 to 1996, is the most. It was long). Lapworth had a school in 1662, sometimes after that. In 1704, it was located on the edge of the cottage terrace and was operated there until 1824. Solihall's Thomas Halborn (carpenter and architect) built a new building with the school at the center of both apartments for the master and office worker. The cost was £ 1. 526, paid in 1833. In 1990, a new school building opened on Kingswood Station Road.

In 1726, Stratoford Street turned into turns, followed by the former Wwick Street in 1766. The Stratford Canal reached Hockley Heath in 1796, but did not reach Kingswood (a place where the old pub was changed to a navigation) until it was connected to Great Union in 1802. 。 The canal reached Strutford in 1816. Oxford Birmingham Railway opened in 1852, and Kingswood Station opened in 1854. The station name was changed to a rapworth because it was confused with Kingswood near Bristol. Since 1871, it has been often used by commuters, and large houses have been built, such as Kingswood Grange for the Gallard family, Surgeon Charlie Palmer and The Teletz for their families. Some old cottages have been improved. The newcomers needed a servant, but it was difficult to hire servants with advanced skills such as butler and cock. I needed a good local store: The grocery store Potter tons at the corner of Mill Lane sold anything, and there was a bakery next to it. There was also a bakery next to it.

The main occupation of the inhabitants is agriculture and related occupations. In 1851 there were 35 farms in the parish employing over 100 workers. During the depression of 1871–1881, 72% of the farms were converted. Imports from New Zealand (mutton) and Canada (grain) had an impact, but demand from Birmingham increased milk production. Warwickshire cheese was particularly prized. Some of the new farmers were keen shooters and anglers. The Overton family's crimson name gave its name to Tan House Farm, where they lived in the 18th century, and was later taken over by John Green in the 1840s. Across the road was the Boots Inn, Lapworth's oldest pub. John Green, a blacksmith in the 1840s, was next door to the Bell Inn. A valuable source of information is Joy Woodall's book A Portrait of Lapworth (£14. 95), published in 1986. It contains detailed maps and delightful illustrations.

Sutton Lodge, Blossomfield Road

Lecture by Ian Sinclair, Solihull Local History Circle, 20 March 2017

Sutton Lodge is an important Victorian mansion and the only privately owned house in Blossomfield Road that retains its original grounds. It was built in 1859 by Henry Harvey Chattock on 1. 5 acres of land leased from Joseph Ludlow.

Joseph Ludlow (1817-1890) was a land surveyor and auctioneer operating out of Birmingham who became a key figure in the development of railways in the Midlands and North. He passed a bill in Parliament in 1858/9 to build a railway line between Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield and was involved in acquiring the necessary land (£20, 000). When it opened on 2 June 1862 it became one of the most profitable lines in England per mile of track. Joseph sold his shares at the top of the market. The opening of the Birmingham to Oxford Railway in 1852 and the establishment of a station at Solihull made the area highly desirable for wealthy families. Joseph named his house after the railway and moved to Erdington with his wife Mary (born 1828 in Leamington) and their sons Walter (born 1857) and Henry (born 1859). In the 1871 census they also had a governess, a cook, a maid and a chambermaid.

The house was designed by Birmingham, Cherry Street architect John J. Baitman and built by William Matthew. The cost estimated was from 1. 620 to 1. 925 pounds, and the completion date was May 1, 1860. The original architectural drawing and the face view remain (from the Birmingham Library). There were basements, storage, and cottage (stables / carriages), and the first floor. Many expansions and remodeling were performed over many years, and the stables were demolished.

Joseph Radrow is a famous member of North Warric Shire Hauns for 50 years, and Boxing Day Meet in 1878 was held in Sutton Lodge. In 1880, his wife and his wife were in memory of the three children who died earlier (George 1849-67, William, Florence 1859-75) I purchased. Walter became Brigadier General and built a house on Widney Manners in 1915, but died in 1941.

Henry H. Wright acquired Sutton Lodge in 1890. In a census in 1891, he states that he is 34 years old and his wife, Alice Laura, is 21 years old and his daughter Alice Noel (3). In 1899, he obtained a larg e-scale renovation permission, including the billiard room on the first floor (currently there is still a billiard stand). He died in July 1900, but in a 1911 census, Mrs. Light, daughter, three servants still lived there. Alice Noel was a famous member of the National Women's Women's Voting Association. In November 1914, Mrs. Wright sold Suton Lodge's ownership to Alfred Bird, a member of Tudor Grange, and Bird made a large increase in a thre e-story building on the lodge.

In 1915, Robert V Hauson (40 years old) moved to the house with his wife Eva and his daughter Mary (1 year old). In March 1946, they continued to be the Birds borrower until the Bird Management Committee sold all their land (186 acres) to the Workshire Congress. The Houson and his wife abandoned their lease in 1952, moved to Homer Road, and died in a few years.

Suton Lodge has been used as a Sol i-rheh high education institution since 1954. For the first five years, it was used as a technical college, and group photos of students remain at this time. Later, he began to focus on art, such as sculptures, art, textile courses, art libraries, and pottery studies. The educational facility adjacent to Suton Lodge was officially transferred to Solihal County in 1964, when Solihal County became a county.

In 1982, Rajosky purchased Suton Lodge and planned to change its use to "luxurious apartments and new houses and bungalows." At that time, six flats and five new houses were built in the additional housing (architect Humphreze & Amplifier; Good Child of Edgebaston).

Kenylworth Road

On February 20, 2017, Knowle LHS's Val Morton gave a speech at Solihull LHC.

Kenylworth Road was more important than Warwick Road, leading to Kenylworth Castle and Cover. To avoid the mud path, it has become very large for centuries for centuries, and when it is r e-paved, it becomes a available land on the south side, representing a wide vestige in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1982, Rajosky purchased Sutton Lodge and planned a change in use to "luxurious apartments and new houses and bungalows." At that time, six flats and five new houses were built in the additional housing (architect Humphreze & Amplifier; Good Child of Edgebaston).

The old school, on the north side of the road, next to the church, was founded by the Lord of the Manor in the 1840s and rebuilt on the site in 1871. It was soon extended to accommodate 300 pupils. Girls and boys had separate entrances and playing fields. The speaker joined the school in 1937 and showed group photographs of 26 pupils in 1900 and 28 in 1953. When the children reached the age of 14, their state education ended and they left to start work. The school was replaced by a new primary school in 1966 and the building fell into disrepair, but was replaced in the 1970s by a new house with a vaulted roof. Adjacent to the east were houses built in 1875 on the land of Boar's Head Farm for £281-6-6d. No. 3 was sold in 1892 for £780 and became the master's home. No. 15 was a shop run by Miss Maisie Scruggs and had a large following among the pupils. It later became an off-licence, then a restaurant and is now a private home. No. 17, Jubilee House, which has a commemorative plaque from 1897, was the home of the Sergeant, No. 19 the police station and No. 21 the constable. The last three were built when the Boar's Head was demolished. Yew Cottage dates from the 17th century and was originally a single building. It was converted into three cottages, Nos. 29 to 33, each with its own separate laundry.

The south side of Kenilworth Road opposite the church was originally a triangular village green formed by Wilson's Road which leads to the High Street. It is now occupied by Bellew Cottage Homes, built in 1885, and a series of frontages directly onto the road. No. 16 Warwick House (built 1890) became a convenience store, the owner also keeping the staff register. Her two daughters were called Miss In and Miss Out, the former of whom ran the shop with its fireplace. The Nook next door was a small cottage with a door leading directly into the kitchen. During the Second World War it was inhabited by the Allen family with eight children. Bellew House was home to the father of the excellent Henry Bellew, who was the church organist for over 25 years. Clutton's Cottage (sold 1891 for £385) was the home of a man with a market garden next door. It was remodelled in 1951 and the 22 Bellew Charitable Country Houses were built in 1977. At the junction with Wilson's Road was the village pound, opposite the Boar's Head Farm/pub.

Milverton Farm was demolished in the 1960s. It was run by the Glover family in the 1800s and the Chinn family until 1920, after which the Tinton family moved in and developed a dairy. There were stables at the rear, which survived until the 1970s and included Woodfields, a blacksmith and a carriage shop. Eva Wootton, author of the History of Knowle, produced a drawing of Milverton Farm in 1945. Knowle filling station was built next to the farm in the 1950s and now sells jet gas. Behind this Mr and Mrs Fletcher ran a coach business. The site of Milverton Farm is now Cook's Close, named after the founder of the Guild of St. Anna, who had a guild house next to the church in 1412/13.

No. 50 was used by the village barber, Ernest Harwood. Nos. 72 to 78 date back to Tudor times and are the oldest in the community. Nos. 88 to 90 were built by Richard Grimshaw in the 1690s and are now owned by Knowle United Charities. The manor house was never run as such. It was the village school until the 1840s. The teacher from 1721 was Thomas Treherne, whose son died in 1800. The church has a fine fresco of skulls. One of his pupils from 1779 to 1783 was the famous Warwick-born author Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864). The house was used as Knowle Hall's retirement home. The rear garden had a twin portico leading to the hall, wide enough for a sedan chair but not for a carriage or horses. It was extensively altered in 1900 and became a private school run by Miss Tanguy, and later called Sunnymount. A 1952 photograph shows further alterations in the 1930s.

When the Grand Union Canal opened in 1799, the Knowle had a coaling dock on the west bank just below Kenilworth Road Bridge. There was a limestone chimney beside the pier. Five locks changed the water level by 42 feet. The tall pump house chimney was demolished in 1933. Across the canal, Knowle Hall was a Tudor building built on the site of a moated manor house built around 1194. The Greville family acquired ownership of the manor and estate when they were elevated to the Lordship of Brooke by James I in 1623. The manor was extended in the 1660s by the 5th Lord Brooke. From the 1720s the manor was leased, but in 1743 the manor and estate were sold by the family and it gradually fell into decline. William Wilson ordered a new manor to be built in 1834, but due to overbuilding it was never built. He sold the estate but retained the manor house. The present manor was built in 1849. Home Farm to the south was owned by the Daly family from 1863 to 1966. In 1870 the Everitt family purchased the estate and held it until Horace Everitt's death in 1982. It was subsequently sold to the Thompsons for £5, 000 and later to the Phillips family for £7, 750.

Springfield House, on Kenilworth Street, was built in 1790 by Joseph Bonomi for Richard Morland. The elegant bridge over the River Blyth on the north side was designed by Sir John Soane. The Bultby family bought the estate in 1798 and demolished it in 1904 when Springfield Farm, built in the 1560s, was sold to its occupants. George Jackson bought the house for £20, 000 and restored Guild House. The Jacksons moved to Somerset in 1939 and took over the house in 1941. In 1946, it was sold to the City of Birmingham, along with 90 acres of land. It was close to becoming a teacher's college in 1950 (Marymount was chosen instead), but has since been used as a special needs school.

Parish records

16 January 2017, Solihull Local History Circle discusses Liz Palmer.

Parish registers were established in 1538 by Thomas Cromwell, vicar general to Henry VIII. The priest of each Anglican church had to enter every Sunday in the presence of both churches all baptisms, marriages and burials that had taken place during the week. A 1598 act stipulated that the entries should be made on parchment (paper proved too thin) and all entries had to be copied onto new material from the beginning. The documents were kept in the parish safe, which required three keys. Each bishop had a copy of the records.

Solihull has a register from 1538, as do Elmdon's; Bickenhill and Tanworth-in-Deren from 1558, Castle Bromwich from 1601, Meriden from 1646 and Knowle from 1651. The first recorded baptism in Solihull is that of Anne Preston on 27 August 1539 (the first two pages of the register are missing), a marriage of Anthony Welde and Joanna Shaw on 10 November 1538, and a burial of Isabell Fowle on 11 November 1538. Each is a simple record, giving no names, addresses, occupations or ages of the parents. In the late 19th century registration societies and parish registers began to form, transcribing documents, indexed by name and place, and publishing them for subscribers. Solihull was published in 1904, edited by the Reverend Harvey Brooks.

The civil war and its aftermath were in a confusion era. In 1653, Oliver Chromewell appointed a parliamentary registration book and left a record in the citizen registration book. The marriage was not possible in the church and was filed by a declaration to the parish ledger. Since 1660, the priests of the British Church have been required to marry, but they did not necessarily need to be done in the church. Many of them were held in London's debtor prison, where no n-hit clergy lives. An example of such a marriage is Edward Twist of Solihall in 1719.

The marriage law enacted by Lord Hardwick in 1753 was a formal wedding, and after three consecutive days, it had to be carried out by the priest in the parish church. Marriage under the age of 21 required parents' consent. The signature of the pastor, the bride, the groom, and two witnesses was filled out in a copy of the family register printed in advance, but there was no age column. Jews and quakers were excluded, but they probably had already met new standards. The first description of the new format of the Soli Remote family register is on May 12, 1754. In 1812, George Rose's Instrumental Registers Act obliged to record the baptism and burial format and record the age of burial.

On July 1, 1837, civil registration of birth, marriage, and death began (notes: not baptism or burial). The father's profession has been described in the birth notification and marriage registration. Copies were created two parts, one copy was stored locally, and the other was sent to the registration office. Local records were also notified of baptism, confirmation, burial, and notification of death, church (40 days after birth, last registration of Solihull, 1962).

In the church ledger of the parish, there were not only church ledger, but also church names, poor coaches, police officers, expressway investigators, taxpayers and militians. The church administrator's accounting and police records were often there. There were many records on the poor, such as the poor, illegitimate child, and apprenticeship divisions.

SLHC members' painting dialogue: December 19, 2016

Trevor England's "Broad Acher

Broadacre is located on the west side of Grange Road in Packwood Garret, Dorridge, close to the original Marlpit Farm, which was rented by the Tallis family for many years. In 1900, John Elwell bought six acres from the owner and built the present house (called Sunningdale) and shelter in 1906. He died in 1910 and is buried in Packwood churchyard. The land passed through several hands, including Richard Curtis of Harborne, who named it Broadacre, before it was purchased by John Woolman in 1942.

He was a great horticulturist, a member of the Royal Horticultural Society and awarded the prestigious Victoria Medal. He exhibited pelargoniums at the Chelsea Flower Show every year. He opened his gardens to the public and his annual Chrysanthemum Exhibition attracted large numbers of people, including horse-drawn carriages from as far away as East Anglia and the North. John was a distant relative of the Woolman family, who had a garden centre on Sherman's Cross Road in Shirley. After his death in 1973, much of the garden was landscaped with fine lawns and trees, and the two ponds in the original jamb were always a highlight, one with an attractive boat.

His son Jack took over and continued to look after the garden with his wife Enid. They had two Great Danes, Winston and Emma. They were great benefactors of Packwood Church, where they attended and are buried. Their youngest son Charlie and his wife Cecil now live in the home and were present at the talk. The garden has grown and recently a bat box was installed. (The Woolmans take their products to local markets, including Bentley Heath.

M& B Brewery Fire Station, Cape Hill (Photo by PETER LYNN)

Henry Mitchell ran the Crown on Abbey Road, Smethwick, where he brewed his own beer. He retired in 1861 and was succeeded by his son, another Henry, who developed light and mild beers and supplied them to other pubs. In 1868, Henry built a brewery, but in 1878 he acquired 14 acres on Cape Hill, Smethwick, and had the London architects Scamel & amp; Colyer design a new brewery for him in an elegant Victorian style.

William Butler was a part-time hairdresser's assistant and bartender at the Crown Inn, Broad Street, Birmingham. There he met Mary Ewing, from Dumbarton, whom he married in 1866 in Carr's Lane. He then ran the London Tavern in Smethwick for 10 years before returning to Broad Street and buying the Crown. In 1898, the two families combined to form Mitchell & Butlers, to provide "the best beer in a good pub". By 1914, the Cape Hill estate covered 90 acres, and included an indoor railway and a cricket ground. Henry had insisted that No. 2 brewery be built separately from No. 1 to reduce the risk of fire. This prediction was fully justified when No. 2 brewery burned down in 1986.

Henry had formed the brewery fire brigade in 1882. The fire brigade grew to 16 men and continued to compete until Henry's death in 1895, aged 32. Before the First World War, he left his job at the brewery to fight fires in the surrounding area, and in 1927 a new fire station designed by Spencer Wood was opened. The speaker earned an extra £2-6 a week as a volunteer firefighter, after starting out with M& B on a weekly salary of £2-17-6. At its peak, the company employed 38, 000 people and owned 2, 000 pubs. Cape Hill Brewery closed in 2002, and all that remains of the site today are the fire station and the cricket ground. Robert Ladbroke and his family (by Ken Hewitt) The Reverend Robert Ladbroke was Rector of Solihull from 1648 to 1654. Born in Warwickshire in 1598, he became a "commoner" (i. e. a member of the family or government) at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1618. He graduated in 1621 and obtained his MA in 1624. In 1632 he was appointed Rector of Wolverton (Bucks), from where he came to Solihull. Solihull was isolated by the Assemblies of God, a pro-Presbyterian organisation, and it was a troubled time. Robert Ladbroke died in 1655, and there is a memorial on the floor of St Alphege's cafe with two coats of arms. Someone has indicated that Ladbroke's arm is broken with that of Smallbrook, but his first wife Bridget (baptised 1594) was of the last line. Another One was a farmer's hand by his second wife Lettice (baptised 1615). Robert had three sons, Edward, William (baptised 1651) and Robert (baptised 1653). The last son married Anne (died 1707) and had one son, Richard (1682-1731).

Richard's first cousin was Robert (1675-1730), and his son Robert Radbroke (1713-1773) became a rich and Mayor of London. He married Elizabeth Brown in 1734 and had three sons and four daughters. Elizabeth died in 1768. The Radbroke family grew so large that the controversy over the inheritance of heritage, and the Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. monument was brought to London as evidence of a trial. Later, the monument was returned to the Soliflu Church and fixed to the floor with bolts.

The family eventually destroyed. James Weller claimed to be Radbroke when married to the clan to get heritage, but died without a throne. The vast territory around England was sold. Crescent Crescent, Garden, Olive Garden, Road, Square, Terrace, and Promenade in London's notting hill are all located on the land they once owned. Solihall's Radbrook Road (NB Two OS But Not E) was named after the clan's name. Perhaps there was a connection between the Radbrooks and the Holbeach family, but have not been tracked yet. The Radbroke gambling company originated in Radbroke Hall (Sausam's tw o-mile south) and originally had a large stables.

Mosley Bog History

On November 21, 2016, Mike Burn gave a lecture at the Sorifle Local History Circle

Moseley was located in the Kings Norton parliament, but Moseley Bog is in Yardley and the current name was in the late 1930s. The land was originally owned by the Glovies family in Mosley Hall (burned down by the 1791 riot). From the Bronze Age to today, water is the root of the peat wetland and its neighborhood.

The two burnt reliefs made during the bronze waging era in the Mosley Bog (1. 500 BC) were heated in the water and dropped into the water with a twigary pin. 。 Initially, it was thought to be for cooking food, but no food was found. It may have been a sauna, but the current way of thinking is thought to have a mental healing purpose. With the trees, the sauna was always a mysterious place. Certainly, the inhabitants would have sweated, and this was a technique beyond the times to regain health both mentally and physically. These burnt reliefs were reported in 2002 as ancient archeological sites.

Water around the emblem was also used as an industrial water. His father, Matthew Ballton, died in 1759, lived on a Salehole farm and conducted water experiments at Sale Hall flourmaking. However, his pool did not provide enough supply, so Matthew headed to Handsworth to make a better use of the "barren land". Sale Hall lost the opportunity and reputation. The Swan Hurst Pool was later built, and in 1768, the Lady Mill (cold bus) pool was connected to the Salehole pool to increase the water pressure. By 1969, the Swan Hurst Pool disappeared, and the old pool, now called the Old Pool, has grown up and supports the Osian business.

Urbanization caused water issues, but it was not easy to solve because the three institutions, Birmingham, the Environment Agency, and Sevan Trent Water, were responsible. The water had to be drained and the flood had to be prevented. By 1937, a system to handle sewage and ground water separately was introduced. However, in the late 20th century, further housing development progressed, causing major problems. In 1971, a larg e-scale drainage reservoir (200 feet length, 100 feet width, 20 feet in depth) was built under the pul l-in, and the surplus water flowed into the Callfall Brook (merging with the Rover Call). However, when heavy rain fell, Brook was unable to withstand it, especially in 2007.

Moslye Bog lived in Wake Green Road 264 at the age of 4 to 7 (the owner refused to set up a blue plate) at the age of 4-7. There is a literary connection. Tolkin wrote stories such as "Hobbit" (1927) and "Ring Monogatari" (1955), and from the growing forest of Bacchus, a strange creature with unique languages and myths. I was imagining. George Andrew, Salehole Miller, driven him out of the site. When the book was made into a movie, the area was greatly advertised. The Hungry Hobbit Cafe opened and was sued by a US company for copyright infringement. Although it did not develop into a trial, the recognition has increased, and the city council has been asked to provide signs and maps for tourists visiting the bog. The middle earth festival began in 1998, but ended in a few years. It was resumed in 2015.

Mosley Bog was influenced by three important consideration, such as environment, history, and flood prevention. In the 1980s, Joy Feifer, who was involved in the establishment of the first city wildlife trust, conducted a campaign to protect the environment. The Roman Catholic parish was trying to build a house southwest of Wake Green Road, but in addition to Medou Concees, it will be built next to RC schools, rather than ultimately affecting Moslye Bog. I persuaded her and the city planner. In 1984, an international Dawn chorus event was held. John Morris Jones, a local historian and author of Call Valley South, persuaded Joy and connected her activities for her to call her. He called for a railway sleeper to build a trail. The sleepers were collected in large quantities, but there was an arson, and the railway network suffered significant losses. In 1999, Congress restricted the sandpit to deter Fuligan. Immediately before she died, Joy's Forest was named on a sewage tank with respect to her (although the mania was hardly conscious).

Bob Blackburn has now played an important role in protecting the BOC, and the group has installed a 2 5-year contract to retain the BOC. In 2010, the Heritage Lotry Fund had a 400, 000 pound subsidy.

Cutting out of the Soli Rich Newspaper in the 1950s

On October 17, 2016, a discussion conducted by Laurence Ince in the Soli Remodeling History Circle

Of the twelve papers on which the debate was based, the first was the Solihull & Warwick County News, dated 22 July 1952. The advertisements in this paper and others up to 1954 were fascinating. Entertainment featured frequently: there were at least three dancing schools in Solihull; Knowle's Tudor Cinema was still open (it had seating benches which David Patterson remembers) before it was converted into a garage; Knowle Community Association promoted Revels at the carnival and a later report noted that "there was a production statement by the vicar"; in March 1954 the Solihull Society of Arts promoted a family event with tickets costing 3/6d (17, 5p); Solihull Carnival Day, Saturday 29 May, featured a "sheepskin presentation"; there was also a duck retrieval service. Lawn mower services were provided by Rayners, an ironworks at 7 Warwick Road, Olton (before moving to Mell Square). Electrical goods included immersion heaters for 10s (50p) a quarter and Frigidaires for 74 guineas from £89-19s. Cosso televisions with 17-inch screens were advertised by F. R. Williams of Stratford Road. The now-known Treadwells of Shirley, Paint & amp; Wallpaper Merchants and the Forest Hotel at Dridge House were often advertised by estate agents who did not quote or normally quote prices. For example, a house in Berryfield Road was for £2, 200 in 1952 and a house in Warwick Road for £3, 250 in 1954. Fountains "Pure Mineral Water" was sold under the Archer Arden label (thought to have originated near Meriden) and the early days of "new foods" were represented by advertisements for Nescafe instant coffee and frozen asparagus and cabbage. The bird's eye agricultural environment was reflected in Carswood pork meal (1/6d for 12 pieces) for pigs. Illustrated adverts for ladies' underwear were common, for example from W. G.
