Warwickshire / Birmingham - can you identify this building?
« on: Wednesday 01 April 20 20:34 BST (UK)  »
I understand this photo to be taken in 1941 in Birmingham.

The family were from Luton so I have no idea why they were there.

The building opposite is quite distinctive - can anybody identify it?

World War Two / Bevin Boys - Derby?
« on: Wednesday 12 November 14 16:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

My Grandmother tells me that my grandfather was a 'Bevin Boy' during WW2 and worked in the mines in Derby. I have a photo of him in his mining gear.

Can anybody tell me anything more?

Do any records service?

Why would he have done this during the war and not been a solider?

Thanks in advance
