A History of Sutton Coldfield Library

It is interesting to note that the initial setting up of a permanent public library in Sutton Coldfield was due to Dr Richard Williamson, one of the Rectors of Holy Trinity Parish Church, who presided from 1843 till 1850.

Another Unusual Air Raid Shelter

Another Unusual Air Raid Shelter

In Knighton Road, Sutton Coldfield, this air raid shelter lies forlornly in someone's back garden, reminding us of a time when the country faced  loss of life.  How close that feels these days, as we struggle with the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic!

Walmley Village War Memorial

Walmley Village War Memorial

How many times do we walk past war memorials without even seeing them?  How often have the residents of Walmley ever paused by their own war memorial and thought about the sacrifice made by the men named on it or to wonder how their loss impacted on their families, friends and the village itself?  Where they are buried?   This article seeks to answer some of those thoughts.
