My husband grew up in Marston Green, Elmdon Lane. His parents still live there. Hubby went to Whitesmore school, but when it was partly burnt down (30 years ago) he had to go to Silvermere School for a while.
I live not far from Silvermere now, it was a community centre for quite a time after being a school, but it's now offices. It still has the playing field behind which is used for local football clubs.
Hubby and I often walk across Sheldon Country Park (which was known as King George V park), watch the planes from the end of the runway and then see his Mum in Elmdon Lane.
Marston Green has changed such a lot- everywhere you look there's new houses.

I used to live in the prefabs in Mackadown Lane, No.88, backed onto the field with the railway embankment right behind us. It was great living there as a kid. I was a train spotter and a plane spotter...good old days. We then moved to Chelmsley/Tile Cross by the White Hart pub near Crossroads Shop.... Noel Gordon opened it.
