Memories of Warwickshire
Present Use
This building is known as "Studley Castle" and after the demise of Rover, who owned it, was sold to a hotel chain.
Birthplace
My grandparents and their family lived here for many years and I was born in the front bedroom in the middle of the photograph in November 1947. My stay in a castle did not last long, as a few days after my birth we moved to a prefab and lived there until 1960.
Mill
Help required.
My GGGrandfather lived in Broom in 1825 and was a miller and I believe his wife was a baker. I would love to hear from anyone who can tell me where the mill was situated or any of the history of Broom at that time.
If you can supply any information please contact me at rogersavage@spc-msa.freeserve.co.uk
Thanks for taking the time to read this note.

Once my Home
I lived here for two years in 1941/42. My father rented it from Mrs Switzer who owned Bell Court. I was ten years old and together with my parents was escaping the Birmingham bombing. I used to fish from that very unstable veranda. We later rented a home on Grange Road in Bidford.

My Home Town
A bit before my time, but I was born and bred in Bidford. The old Falcon Inn, in the background, I lived round the corner from there. Had a wonderful childhood in Bidford, alas I left to join the army in 1977 and only manage to go back on visits to my dad, who still lives in the same street. Not in shot on the left, is the Bulls Head pub where he was born.. Great memories of a great little place.
