Tolkien's Walk

Abstract

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO members of a Birmingham family named Warner lived at no. 19 Beaufort Road, Edgbaston. (The firm ‘Currie & Warner’ is still flourishing in Birmingham's old jewellery quarter.) Looking across the road towards no. 6 (‘Inglesant’), Mrs Warner would remark, ‘Joseph's still scribbling!’ Late into the night the oil‐lamp bore witness that, in his front parlour, Joseph Henry Shorthouse was writing John Inglesant.
