Worcestershire memories
Brick Kiln Cottages in About 1881
Does anybody know where Brick Kiln Cottages in Rushbrook are? As my family lived there in 1881.
Crowther Family
Does anyone remember or have links with the Crowther family who lived in Chaddesley Corbett 1900-1910? This is relevent to me as Lewis was my father. Phillip my grandfather, who I never knew, worked in the big house as a coachman I believe and I want to see if there are any reletives still surviving who may be related to me. My email address is martingrenville@talktalk.net
Any photos or anything would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Lived in Chaddesley 1950-1967

If you lived there at that time, it would be great to hear what happened over the years.
