Hi Fiona, Sorry I can't help you with any information on your relatives but I just wondered if you knew about the crash landing of a British bomber plane in Adelaide Street in 1944. It wrecked four houses and damaged many more. There are a couple of pictures of the devastation here, http://www.blackcountrysociety.co.uk/articles/crashlanding.htm I live close to Adelaide Street and it looks exactly the same now as it did on the second picture apart from the rubble of course, best wishes, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: <FCASKEY@aol.com> To: <ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 10:44 AM Subject: [B.C.] Jensen/Lowe Adelaide Street Brierley Hill 1940 - 1960's > Does any know Adelaide Street, Brierley Hill in 1940 - 1960's. > If anyone stayed in the street they may be able to help? > My second Cousin once removed Lynne Jensen stayed in 44 Adelaide Street > from > about 1945 until she married in 1967.
