Heath Street, Winson Green

Gosh! what memories come flooding back now.... I do remember it was not often we were allowed to use Nanny front door!! we always had to use the back through the big gate!!..

Thank you so much for posting those images..

That first one was subject to a long and drawn out 'where is this?' a few months ago!
We finally did agree that it was Heath Street, though.
 
i know Lloyd and we had some fun with that one.. and angie has just confirmed it again for us..

cheers

I worked at the City Of Birmingham outside catering dept; (next to the baths?) must be over 40years ago
 
The baths!!... I remember going to the baths... for all of us who did not have a bathroom...... Gosh you must have been rich those days if you had a bathroom!!!!

Tin baths were fun for us little ones.... but for mothers having to boil kettles to get hot water it must have been a nightmare!!

That is if its the 'baths' your thinking of??

Angie, all I remember was that the entrance to the baths had about 3 steps up to the front door, and that we shared a gateway with them for their delivery of coke for the boilers do you remember the outside catering depot?

many thanks for coming back to us on this one, Annette was the other sister i could not think of
when i wrote my last thread i remember her very well many . many years ago i went out with linda
her older sister , but after awhile i did not see eye to eye with the mother so we parted company
Do you see Annette anymore or the famiy ? .
i think linda went out with a kid i knew from way back when we was kids in eversham
and they came to brum his name was phillip . do you know or not ?.
i think if i remember ronnie ,his parents took on the pub by the park many years ago ,
have you got any children with annette ? .what about there brother is he still knocking about ?
i tryed to get to H,S funneral but i could not make it nor the sisters at st peters CHURCH IN SPRING HILL

hi sharronm
young peter married my life long friend susan ;
and moved to the new house on the top of abey rd ?. true or false ;
astonion ;;
 
no there is no peter moult ,dave married sue and lived at the top of abbey street, they have been divorced for 15 years or more :(
 
Hi sharom
yes thats true ,there aint no peter ;it was mistake and idid put a following thread on the site but its quite clear it never got through for some reason
as soon as i put that peters name , i relized it and done another quite emediately
to couterract the name and put peter which was appropiate ;
and regrds david the marrige was a no go
an they was better parted ;tempus musus [time flys ] my dear friend
i had not relized it was that long
i knew susan as a child like the other sisters and brothers also her mother
but sadlyher father was not around at the time of the wedding
also the steadmans [ cousins since they was kids
and regards the house in abbey rd i had visted many times after the time of the break up ; and leart of all davids and susan mr meaners many years ago ;
have a nice day astonion ;;
