	Birmingham central library has thousands of photo's mostly card indexed but some have been put on computer (in library I think) Acording to local news you can view some images on bbc(.)co(.)uk/birmingham - go to bottom of page and your birmingham section - view images - after that there is a link to library archives feature. Several categories to look through - memories!!!

He was the last town crier of Birmingham! so I had something to go on at least :) Sioux
