Birmingham
Birmingham is a great city which I've visited regularly since I was a
kid. My father was born here - in Olton - and used to take local produce
from the Claverdon area to the Bull Ring Market in the 1920s - he
would find things a bit different now !! Later he was a bus driver for the
Midland Red.
This card was posted in 1907.
A 1916 postcard of the Town Hall.
St Philips in 1908.

As you can see this postcard was written, but it does not seem to have ever been posted, so no date - but around 1905 ? For a brief history of the school, follow this
