    Anglesey Street School

    Yes Mr William's had a droopy moustache . I had my last year at Angelesy in the new building. We merged with Farm Street School I think and Mr Olds was our form teacher. I did visit my mother in law as she was a dinner lady there in the late '80's and Mr Olds was the headteacher then.

    My brother Philip Dauncey and my mother in law Pauline McKee both worked at Rabones. My brother I'm sure worked as a tool setter with Alan Layton and my mother in law worked putting the bubble into spirit levels. They both worked there for a good number of years during the '70's '80's and 90's...

    Oldest group photo of Aston Villa

    I haven't been on the forum for ages and have missed reading all kinds of interesting posts :-) I have been reviewing the information I have on Frank Moss. I have (hopefully) attached a photo of Frank's baptism record. It seems that he wasn't born in Phillips Street as stated. At his baptism...

    I'd also forgotten about having to record all the letters sent in the post book and postage costs and making it all balance, I also remember the walk to Hockley Post Office to buy stamps. Mr. Hughes was still working there in the Accounts Office!!!
