Thank you for sharing the pictures - I love this site. My Great Grandfather was the Relieving Officer at the Relieving office in St Mary Anns Buildings and my Grandfather was born there. Can anyone tell me anymore about the Relieving Office or St Mary Anns Buildings.

The second picture down was where I was born in 1952. My grandparents lived downstairs and my parents and I lived upstairs. My grandparents ran a spiritualist church there.
