Mom lived in Baynards...1930-40's
Mom went to the country to live during the war. She lived in a big field - the house and land were let by the Fulton Brick Works, I believe that was the name. I have about 5 pictures of her home with my Auntie Connie.

Simmonds Hanley Castle
I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds.
Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share.

44 The Village
My wife and I moved to Powick in the 1980s. Dating back to the late 1500s the whole row of (now four) houses were used by Cromwell as a hospital during the Civil war. It had no central heating and during our stay there we added that, changed the old drafty windows, put in a damp course including new flooring in the kitchen and lounge, had the roof re-tiled replaced some of the rotten roof beams and timbers and the loft was insulated with a firewall put in place between No44 and No43.

This photograph shows
the Great Hall as it was
originally intended -
displaying a collection of
armour and weapons,
just as a castle should. It
was redesigned in 1986
and now looks much
more welcoming, with
comfortable sofas in the
middle of the room.

This must rank as one of
the most picturesque post
offices to be found
anywhere in the country.
Entry is through the door
on the left, and the bulk of
the building is a private
house. It is still, I am glad to
say, a post office to this day.
