RE: C. Kunzle Ltd. Garrett's Green Lane Birmingham - 3

Phil have you by any chance got any pictures of the Mackadown. Me and my mates had some wicked Friday nights in there. SB

Re the Chestnuts (not the pub) I have found a bit of map.

I have had a look at you map VM I think that the long road is Garretts Green Lane, or it's origin and the road coming down could be either Sheldon Heath Road or Horrel Road, bearing in mind Horrell Rd goes down to Sheldon Church.

Here you are Graham, I've superimposed the old map onto sattelite image.

Thanks John is there no end to your talent.
I was right in as much as the horizontal road is Garretts Green Lane and the Vertical road off the junction is now Sheldon Heath Rd. It's interesting to see that Garretts Green Lane on its West End turned right up into Cockshut Hill towards Yardley, this now more of a side road in comparison.

Some details here too

Thanks Svrman,
There's a lot of good stuff on that site, it's a wonder no one posted this link before.

Has not "madeinbirmingham" been posted to the site in another connection? I have been a fan of the site for years I think the lad who runs the site is doing a great job. Jon I think his name is.

Phil

Phil we have spoken about Kunzles before my mum used to work there. SB

yes we have spoke about it before,my mum too and all off sheldon I reckon at some time LOL

We must have spoken about it at great length. This is the Kunzles thread.

There is some good Kunzle related material in Octobers Brummagem Mag.
