I remember going into the Woolworths on the Bristol Road after going swimming, at Tiverton Road baths, with my sister Marilyn, we would then go to the frothy coffee bar, and spend some time looking in the leather jacket shop window before getting the bus bac k to Weoley Castle, from besides the 'Old' Oak Cinema, happy days.
