Hello Ness I did a paper round at Wards for about 2 years and I can't remember Eric but Martin rings a bell , you are right the girl I remember was named Glenda . I don't remember the other names you mention but did have a brief chat with a Robert Smith from 174 Green lane on small heath proboards there's a link from the small heath circle site sounds about your year in school . I lived in Chales Road by BG until I was about 12 and Iris lived just up the road she was in her 20s when I was about 10 ,I had a few slaps off her , all my own fault . Remember the parkie old Fred he was there for years and a decent bloke . Someone you may remember from Whitehall Road is Barry Ansell they had a coal yard and Barry was on the Villas books for a time had a brother Mark . A few names from Charles Road BG end , Maxine Barnes , Cathy and Debbie Roden , Christine Mander , Christine Hall , Moores 2 sisters can't recall names , Davises loads of them ,Dennis the menace Centurion . The girl from the sweet shop next to Wards wasEdwina and older sister Jill . I bought my bikes from Craigs too Bernie
