Makemesmile Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've got an old picture of Benjamin Huntsmans house on Handsworth Road. Does anyone know whereabouts on the road it would have been? Thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILLY Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It was on the left hand side as you come from the city centre but near Oakley Road opposite the Asda. The one Owls chick is thinking of was famous for something else but it has escaped me now will have to get my thinking cap on. I can remember when it used to have crates of pop piled high outside though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomdido Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I thought it was higher up by the pub opposite the Turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILLY Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My memory does not serve me well I only remembered where it was because I had been reading a Handsworth History book last week with the photo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeBeeBee Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I've got an old picture of Benjamin Huntsmans house on Handsworth Road. Does anyone know whereabouts on the road it would have been? Thanks x There's a house on Handsworth road opposite Asda with a blue plaque on it which says something about Huntsman I think - saw it as we whizzed past the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
