Thanks Bob
My Hannah was baptised in Bradmore.
the family lived in bradmore, wombourn and on the 1901 census Little Penn. (or maybe this was misread and should be lower Penn. i can't find my print out to check)

Hello
I am so pleased that recently my partner and I will be moving to Bradmore (Wellington Avenue to be exact) - I was just wondering if anyone has any old photos - ive seen a few on the net but not many.
Also ive tried to track the history of the house and on the hips pack it states that the vendors in 1909 were the Wellings family and the purchaser a Margaret Kipling Cox. I have tracked the Wellings family by census but they were all based in Broad Lane. Did Wellington Avenue exist as Broad Lane? Im not sure anyway be great to hear off anyone!!! x

I may be totally wrong, but I think the Boys' Grammar School, corner of Merridale (Street/Lane?) and Compton Road was originally an 'Orphanage'? If so, this may be a connection?

Well here is Wellington Avenue, you can both tell each other where you live now!
In the second picture the house to the left of the bungalow is where the Wellings family used to live. Perhaps they still live there?
Their firm built the house that I used to live in and others in Uplands Avenue.

Regards, Bob.

as far as im aware, wellington ave simply was farmland before it was the avenue, perhaps, part of birches barn farm, or maybe part of the farmhouse in church road, as also in church road is a ... not sure exactly what, but a mill type building ( and church walk... church walk, was a track running between two fields from Birches Barn farm to church road
