Hillfields

Frank Kennell - who was he? I'll need to flip these images. Really, I should do a more forensic check!

With the shop's proximity to Coventry Glass, I wonder if Frank Kennell was a relation to the man who was, I believe, a manager of Coventry Glass in the 1950's.

The only thing I can find out about him was he was at 63 Raglan Street in 1970 and he had a dog in 1938 but not always a license ! Maybe this was father and son

Nice one Anne - that corner property was No.63 looking at Maps.

For anyone who has a specific interest in the Hillfields area, there are 13 fascinating photos of streets and buildings being sold by one person on eBay.

Ooooh nice - some often seen views but a couple of other crackers.

I saw these as a mixed lot with photos from other cities at an ordinary auction and was very tempted. Thankfully, for my bank balance, I am determined not to venture out of the main city or to other eras.

You're more 'Cov' than us lot Helen!

Best one yet of Primrose Hill Street and The Captain's Table -

This is from Stas Librowski's Hillfields History Society collection on Flickr.

Thanks Ben - some interesting stuff on there! I spotted it randomly posted on FB.

Stas has a substantial collection which he sent to me for Cov Dig. Difficulty is working out copyright. Even the Captain's Table image - from where did it come originally? It's a conundrum for me.

Agreed - interesting development from the Court of Appeal. Organisations can no longer charge a copyright fee for out of copyright images. They can however still charge an access fee.
