Hello,
As this is only my second post, a brief introduction  , I'm Lisa and have family roots in the Bromsgrove area.
Lots of family members have lived at one time or other in Bournheath (nr Bromsgrove), so I wondered if anyone has any old photos of that area, particularly the Five Ways, Parish Hill, Yarnold Lane area.
It would be even better if any pictures had people on them, as we may well find a photo of a relative.
The time frame would be late 1800's to 1950's.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Welcome on board. First of all try our society website http://www.bromsgrovebmsgh.co.uk/ and go to Member's Names Interests to look for your family. There is also a link to The Hughes Collection from the LINKS section. Not our website but once there click on Gallery and type a name in the search box. Some 25 years ago 2,000 glass plate negative were found in a shop. Most of very high quality. About 200 had names of client scratched on them.
There is a feedback mechanism if you recognise someone.
Cheers
Mike

How about posting a list of surnames, place and a time frame on here?
