An image believed to be of Brownhills Choral Society – legendary and very successful, with the noted singer George Fullelove third from left. Image generously supplied by Margaret Yeomans.
Yesterday via Facebook, I received this wonderful image posted by friend of the blog Margaret Yeomans, who tells me this is a photo of Brownhills Choral Society and the chap third from left is the legendary George Fullelove.

I came across this old photo today Mr Bob, I am sure it’s Brownhills Choral Society, it was taken in one of the methodist chapels.
There is another half to this photo but sadly I haven’t got it.
I think the third gentleman on the left is George Fullelove the choirmaster, he was my father’s cousin, my name was also Fullelove.
I can remember a lot of the choir even though I was only young. Quite a few of my family were members.
Thanks to Margaret for a splendid donation. From past images here (notably the tribute at Silver Street Church) I think that is certainly George, one of the most accomplished sons of Brownhills and a great singer.
David Evans has suggested this might be at the Wesleyan Methodist Church – can any of the people remembering those days help please?
I’m appealing for help here identifying not just the place, but the people in the photo and if possible, the approximate date too. Hoping perhaps Aer Reg, Sue Woodward or David Oakley might be passing and be able to help?
Cheers to Margaret for a great contribution!
If you can help, please do: Comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
