Its just that I distinctly remember having to write Birmingham,
Warwickshire in my address until Birmingham became part of the West
Midlands.

Mike Chester: 
Depends upon your point of view. Long before 1940 Birmingham was a 
city borough and therefore not technically part of the administrative 
county of Warwickshire. Of course, other parts of the city have been 
hived off from Staffordshire and Worcestershire over the years.

Chris Pickford is working on a new edition of C B of W and is going 
to include a section on Birmingham. I'll let him be the final 
arbiter of whether or not I need to add the central Birmingham towers 
to "my" website!
