I just hung up the phone with Patricia Roberts-Pichette and find myself writing in the hopes that someone out there can help us with a question. Patricia wrote to me back in 2011 while researching her book on the Middlemore home children. During our correspondence I mentioned that a visitor had let me scan what they called “a Middlemore shilling”. When Patricia learned this, she wrote, “All members of one Middlemore party each received a new shilling from the Lord Mayor of Birmingham but I would not expect anyone would have kept it.”
