West Midlands memories
We moved into Earlsdon from Wales in 1965 and stayed with my aunty who lived in Belvedere Road. Such a big house with three floors and close to the Spencer Park tennis courts as I recall.

I remember the strange triangular shaped building where my Mum and I used to walk down the back, down the cobbled road to Fishy Moores. We used to have to join the queue outside until the lady on the door called us in when there was a table free. There was a section up on raised platform inside, and I used... [more]

Sutton Coldfield - A History & Celebration
Just down the road from the 1881 cemetery is the Good Hope Hospital. Originally Sutton was served by a cottage hospital that was opened in 1907 but, despite being extended in 1911, it could not cope with the demands that were being placed on it. Sutton was growing and the need for another general hospital to serve the district was also growing. It was suggested that as a house... [more]

Sutton Coldfield - A History & Celebration
The Second World War broke out in 1939 and the Park again played its part when tank testing took place there; a Civil Defence camp was built near Powell's Pool; German and Italian prisoners of war were interned near Longmoor Pool and some heathland was cultivated near Streetly, all in aid of the war effort.
