ROSE COTTAGE		-----Original Message----- From: sonia.nicholls [mailto:sonia.nicholls@btopenworld.com] My grandma Kate Whitmore lived in Rose Cottages situated behind the monumental mason's yard in Moor Lane, opposite the main gates of Witton Cemetery. The cottages were two rows with back gardens facing down the middle, and the far row fronting onto the canal. There is now an industrial estate where they were situated. 'The Safe Harbour' pub', still a short walk away, was Grandma's local. I have asked everyone I can think of if they have a photo' of the cottages but to no avail. It would be great if one was donated to your site.         regards - Sonia Nicholls

Mr. Rowley of Wellington Villas, Wellington Road was proceeding home from business when at the Perry Barr end of Wellington Road and owing to the dense fog, his conveyance came into contact with a milkman’s dray. It overturned and Mr. Rowley and his coachman were thrown heavily to the ground. Fortunately no bones were broken and they managed to escape with nothing more than a sever shaking, but the accident might have proved more serious. The conveyance was smashed and will have to undergo considerably repairs before it is fit for further use. The question as to whom is to be blamed for the accident is now agitating the minds of the person concerned.
