I won’t beat around the bush. I’m knackered and way behind with lots of online stuff like 365days – so quick posts here this weekend – but I have some fabulous quick queries you all can ponder over.
The first is this remarkable photo of a Brownhills cottage, now apparently lost.
A mystery Brownhills cottage. The photo isn’t ancient, and is high quality. Anyone recognise the building or house behind? Image kindly supplied by Gerald Reece via David Evans.
The image is from the wonderful Gerald Reece donations, and don’t forget the great man will be returning to Brownhills next week for a visit (you can join him on a walk – see details here).

Hi Bob
As I was going through some of Gerald Reece’s amazing materials yesterday I came across this fine photo. I think it may have been taken by Gerald’s son some years ago.
I have no clue where it was, but it says demolished, Brownhills on the back. I wonder what stories and history this image may reveal?
kind regards
David
The only clue for me is the considerably better maintained building in the background. What and where is it?
My thanks to David and Gerald as ever for a great puzzle. If you can help, please do – comment here on the blog, on social media where you find me or via email: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
