That's a good picture of washday training Stars. Love the miniature wringer. Looking at the shoes I'd guess it's about late 1950s. Vi.
 
stars if you look at the building to the left of the school well that is where the house training took place..our mom used to do it when she attended lozells girls school. and .i must have been in class when the school pic was taken...

I can vouch for that. I would meet my then girlfriend near there after school (I had started work but Mon and Wed afternoons were half day) and she had spent the afternoon learning how to be a good wife rather than occupying her silly girls brain on proper learning

Hi just stumbled on this site. I was born at 216 Lozells Road in 1951 and left in 1973. Loved the pictures. I attended Lozells Street School I think for a year and then went to St Silas.

Here we have the Old Farm Lozells on a 1918 postcard. Painted by W. Green, it says on the pc that it's a view of the farm in the 1850s and that by 1918 it was the site of a grocer, Mr. Adams. Hard to believe this view today, but a little historical addition to this thread. Will see if I can find out when the farm was demolished (obviously sometime before 1918). Viv.

Lozells Road - looks about 1910s. The boys to the left seem more interested in the camera, the girl to the right seems more interested in the boys....... Viv.

Wife and I used to live on Lozells road behind a Jewelers opposite a Fish and Chip shop.
Cant remember exact address was about 1973.
 
Thanks Carolina, did a lot of zooming in and out on that one but couldn't work it out. Viv.
 
topsy that one of the skating rink is a new one to me...its says lozells road but i have no idea where...i think a kellys look up could be the answer as ive never even heard of on being on the lozells road but of course that does not mean to say there was not one....will be interested to find out where...

Would this be it by any chance? (From bgfl.org shows it within the triangle formed by Witton Road, Witton Lane and Trinity Road). The rink was part of a complex, shown just below the Holte Theatre. Carolina, it also mentions the Dovehouse Pool. Viv.
