A brilliant site, well done to all concerned. I'll certainly put a link from our history based site to this, it should become a valuable resource as time go by.

As previously mentioned, I have always felt it strange when web sites are created to celebrate a large City (such as Birrmingham) and all they can manage is a few stereotype pages showing information that could be obtained anywhere.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this next site - not dedicated to the whole City, but to a particlular section "Aston Brook-through-Aston Manor."  What a site - a credit to all concerned.
