Mail 26th Feb 1907 THE PROSPOSED NEW MUSIC HALL Sir, I notice a statement that the husband of Miss Vesta Tilley is to build a new music hall adjoining the Theatre Royal in New Street. Apart from the point as to whether Birmingham is not already overdone with music halls, it is a mistake to have these places of entertainment so close to each other. If they are wanted, why not have them distributed so that they might be easier to reach from different sides of the city? The people living in Handsworth, Perry Barr, Newtown Row and Aston side are so very well supplied, and a good class music hall erected fronting the new end of Corporation Street in the middle part somewhere about Legge Street would kill two birds with one stone. It would undoubtedly help to set that street going and so reduce the rates on the cost of making the street, and would be a convenience to the people of that side of the city.
Yours etc., T. W. |

The father of Mr Wadham’s was
a farmer of the old stamp, fond of a good horse and a bold foxhunter. He occupied some of the land by Bristnalls
end and his widow afterwards farmed at church hill farm for many years, much
respected and well known as Mrs. Peggy Wadham’s. Mr J Wadham’s afterwards purchased Wellhead house, Perry
Barr and some forty acres of land around it, which continued in the
family for many years. The land was
sold to the Calthorpe family and residence and grounds of the Quaker Wadham’s
family.

Handsworth Herald – September 1901 At Handsworth Police Court on Friday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. H A Pearson, Coroner for South Staffordshire on the body of Joseph Wakelam (35) carter, in the employ of Mr. Isaac Foden of Kings Standing Farm Perry Barr. Susan Wakelam (13) daughter of deceased said her father was a sober man. She last saw him alive on Wednesday night. On Thursday evening she heard he was dead. She afterwards came to the mortuary and identified the body.
Eliza Reynolds, a married women said she saw the deceased on Wednesday evening. He then seemed all right. Mrs Wakelam was not present because she was about to be confined. William Winwood Kings Standing Farm said he accompanied deceased to town on Friday. Each had charge of a wagon. On their return journey, when about 130 yards in front, in Holly Lane he turned round and saw deceased in the act of falling off the shaft of his wagon. He fell and two wheels passed over him. Witness went to him and found him groaning and apparently in great pain. A cart was fetched and deceased was driven by a man named Frederick Brooks in the direction of the Hospital. He was quite sober at the time. An eye witness named G. L. price having given evidence, Frederick Brooks, an engine driver, spoke to driving deceased in the direction of the hospital. He died in the Aldridge Road near the Boars Head – Detective Grindley said he examined deceased when brought to the station on Friday, and, as he was quite dead, no doctor was called in. The Jury returned a verdict of “Accidental death”. |
