    Hi Bernie, At the other end of Tower street you had infant and junior school St George’s C of E. The nearest senior school would have been Summer Lane.

    brearley street newtown.

    Thanks Mike I found the map it is 270 I am looking for not 217. 270 is just on the map, I always thought Brearley street only ran between newtown row and Gt Hampton row are there any more properties to the west of 270?

    The Bosted Boot

    Hi all I haven't been on the forum lately and I have a question, has anyone heard of a pub in Aston nicknamed THE BOSTED BOOT ? I would guess it had this nickname in the 1940s and 50s.

    Prince of Wales Summer Lane

    I think this must be a token for use in The Prince of Wales club that was a few doors away from The Vine in Summer Lane.
