Another trip along a street I remember quite well, when I got married in 1957 we lived in rooms in Lloyd Street just off Golden Hillock Road, and I worked at the BSA Armoury Road, went to all the cinemas along the Coventry Road, including the Apollo which our trip hasn't reached yet. I also used to shop along there and remember the Co-op, Hawkins drapers, Devoti's ice cream parlour and a lovely old fashioned grocery shop near the corner of Charles Road but can't remember the name at the moment. Thank you so much Phil.

Gone, but not forgotten.
Lets start the trip down the slight hill from just past Muntz Street to Heybarnes Road or thereabouts.

Hi All,
Phil, thanks for these very interesting and evocative journeys. The pic of the Brighton Arms on Coventry Road brought back some good memories of 40-odd years ago. Is it still there, does anyone know? You have a magnificent collection of pics. If you're looking for suggestions, Fox & Goose to Saltley Gate via either Alum Rock Road or Washwood Heath Road (or both, but that would be cheeky!), would be of particular delight to me. Again, many thanks.
