Talk:Bournbrook

Devonshire

Just noticed that roads such as Dawlish, Tiverton, Teignmouth and Exeter are named after towns in Devonshire. What is the historical relevance of this? 87.194.30.164 01:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Vincent/Goodman

"The now dilapidated building beside the library on the Bristol Road belonged to timber merchants W J Vincent & Co Ltd". Is that correct? I thought the place next to the library was the builders' merchant Goodmans, and that Vincents was on the Bristol Road more towards Edgbaston. Mind you, I was last there in the seventies so my memory may not be reliable. 86.132.223.105 (talk) 12:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

My recollection agrees with yours. 109.152.150.174 (talk) 10:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Merge with Selly Oak

Bournbrook as an area doesn't exist in reality. The whole area is covered by Selly Oak and if there is an area called Bournbrook it is certainly a tiny area located around a small segment of the Bristol Road, definitely not as large as this article indicates it to be. -=Troop=- (talk) 19:16, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

You'll not be telling the people who were born that that it doesn't exist, will you!? 31.52.251.160 (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
