Some are comical and some are serious but it shows the personality of the people, streets, shops and business like Hickman's the greengrocers, who sadly closed the doors on Christmas Eve 2000 and Landon's Bathrooms, who is still in the area.</div> <div> I published this book mainly because I was born in Ladywood and lived at 64 Morville Street with my Grandparents living at 1/57 Morville Street. Ladywood holds many fond memories of my childhood and I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did writing it.</div> <div> <B>£9.95 plus £2 post and packaging</B></div> <div> <B>ISBN 9 537038 0 0  </B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> SOLD OUT</div> <bR> <div> ***********************************************************************************************************</div> <div> <IMG SRC="100269f0.png" border=0 width="294" height="415" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> NormanBartlam  new book entitled</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> BROAD STREET</div> <div> Old and New Photographs<FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> S<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" >UTTON </FONT>P<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" >UBLISHING</FONT></div> <div> PRICE £9-99p </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> ************************************************************************************************************************</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="40e2fb50.jpg" border=0 width="303" height="437" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">'The Birmingham Pearlies' </div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> A comprehensive account of the pearl shell industry from the 18th century to the present day.
