INFORMATION
The Rev. John Hope, LRPS, was for many years a Methodist minister
in Quinton, near Birmingham. He amassed a large collection of postcards
and photographs, some dating from the turn of the century, which depict
Quinton, Harborne and the surrounding area. When he moved to Handsworth,
he donated his collection to Quinton Library, to allow local people access
to it. In keeping with that aim, Quinton Local History Society, using
a grant from the National Lottery's "Awards for all" scheme, commissioned
this website, which now contains the most significant images from this
important collection, so that they will be constantly available to the
general public worldwide. It is hoped that they will be of value and interest
to local historians, genealogists and anyone interested in the history
of the Birmingham area.
