A family photo showing children in Cavandale Avenue Coronation 1953. Even the children's bikes and toy prams are decorated. How we liked our street events back then, I don't think we will see things like this these days, but I might be wrong.

There is a long thread about the church see link below. It was demolished in 1985.

St Andrews Church Bordesley Green

Has anyone got any photos of this Church? My parents got married there in 1959 but sadly it was demolished a while ago, I can vaguely remember it. Thanks in advance.

The nursery round the corner from us uses an updated version to take the non-walkers out in the fresh air. In fact they have 2 they use. Pass our house most afternoons.
The walkers use a caterpillar with loops for them to hold on to.
Would love to post a photo but in this day and age of privacy rules I wouldn't be allowed.
