I know this is years old but my mum, auntie and uncle are in this picture! They lived at no 20. Surname mcpheeI was recently going through some of my Great Aunts pictures, when I came across this picture taken with all the residents (including my Nan and 3 of her sisters) of Arlington Road on VE Day.

I went to Highters Heath, then Wheelers Lane.
A couple of my mates were nearer your age and went to Grendon Road school.
I wonder if the names Brian Brittle Tony Owen or Roy Herbert ring any bells ?
The Love of My Life (for a while !), lived in Aldbury Rd.
Not an AA site but I read this morning on an archeological site that Berry Mound was used by the 24th Battalion Home Guard (Moseley) during WW2, but that's all it says.I never noticed those remains when I used to go over Berry Mound, there again I don't suppose I'd have noticed them. That looks like a slab of iron, I wonder what that was used for ?
I've checked and there wasn't an AA site there. I was wondering if there would've been a pillbox of one sort or another, it would have had a good field of fire.
Do you still have those pictures ? Berry Mound was used by the Home Guard in WW2
