A site for the history of Belgrave & surrounding areas in Tamworth, England. |

The picture shows Woods Furniture Workshop or “Jimmy Wood’s Hill” as it was known. This has since been demolished and the site is now occupied by Woods Court, a care home located on the corner of West Street and Kettlebrook Road.
The gentleman standing on the right in the bowler hat is Jimmy Wood, the owner and manager of the furniture workshop. The young woman sitting down in the white dress behind the man with braces is Miss Mary Ann Jones who married Sydney Allsopp, a Fishmonger. They later left the country to live in the United States in the early 1920s. |
