Ash Road Saltley
Ash Road, Saltley
I'm curious as to why my mother's family moved from Crawford St. to Ash Road. She says it seemed like a posh place compared to Crawford St. So. I'm wondering did something happen around 1940 to make this possible? and who lived at 44 Ash Road before them?

My earliest memory was catching a Tram from the Fox and Goose to city centre with my mother. My next is the Baggott Island watching the Trams turn around on the Island as it had a turn table in the middle, Im not sure if its still there as all they seemed to do was fill it in or so it seemed.

The Square Old Square
The Square was for a long time one of the most prestigious addresses in Town. By my reckoning it is now under The Priory Queensway, lost in the 1870s development of Corporation Street area. What might be interesting and useful is if the forum can identify the people that lived in the Square...

Does anyone remember the big House at the end of Red House Road, off Yardley Fields Road? There was a dirt road from Yardley Fields Road through to Manor Road Recreation Ground and on the right was a big detached house owned by a Miss Davies. Back in the 50s it was falling down round her ears...

There was once a plaque on the bridge - left (probably giving some history of the bridge ?) I don’t have a date for this one. Viv. The bridge over the canal at Tower Hill was similar but wider if I remember correctly.
