I am in touch with Lawson Bullivant and and I know he usually visits his sister Delia on Sunday for his Sunday lunch. I lived at no 6 Brougham St back in 1965 ish and I worked in the little Factory at the back of the house . Dennis and Barbara Horlick Owned the House and Factory. We used to buy 5gallon paint drums from the Car factories in Brum and we would Clean them out and resell them back to the paint firms.In the coming days I'm sure I'll get an inspiration to post some more memories of the Street but for now I thought I'd mention a few names of kids from the local gang who I have fond memories of.
Already mentioned has been Freddy Round, Brian Bowler, Tim and Andy Beale.
And then there was Patrick and Anne Farell who lived next door to Fred. Two doors down again was the Jones Brothers, Terry, Graham and Frank.
At the top end of the Street, near Hurlstons shop was Alice Forun who I went to St Francis infants with. In fact, I had an email from Alice's younger brother Brian who I know lurks here. Come on Brian, jump in and post some memories. Brian tells me that Alice now lives on the Isle of Wight. I'm really looking forward to a possible email from her.
Further down the Street was Sindy Singh a little Sikh kid. Sindy was dead cool because he had real long hair tied up in a bobble well before any of us aspiring Hippies thought of it! Next door again from Sindy was a West Indian kid called Dolphus (I don't think I ever new his last name). As kids we were priveliged to go round to Dolphus' house for the Saturday night "Blues" a party where they played the latest Ska and Blue Beat records. I remember the "sound sytem" was awesomely loud!
Right opposite from Alexandra Terrace, where I lived was Marlborough Terrace. Glenda Butler lived at number one. I've had contact with Glenda for some time via Friends Reunited, she now lives in Shropshire. I told Glenda about this site, maybe she's lurking?
Around the corner in Wills Street was Derek Such. Derek's garden backed onto the old school annex in Brougham Street. Backing on to the annex as well, but from Villa Street, was the house of Pat and Tommy Brett. And then, right next to the annex in Brougham Street was Max and Delia Bullivant. WoW! It's all flooding back !!!
If anyone has contacts for these guys, or maybe they are lurking, I would dearly love to hear from them.
welcome SB80 enjoy the forumHi, I’m late to these pics and found them purely by chance but my Dad (Andy Beale) spent his childhood living with his family on Brougham Street in the 1950’s. I’ve been fascinated to see the pictures of the street so thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much MikejeeIn the 1882 Kellys , which probably refers to 1881, 33-35 are not numbered, but between 29 and 39n a9 are:
St Marys Middle Class Pension boarding School
House of Mercy, Home for Respectable Young Women out of Service
St Marys Catholic Church
So I reckon that 33-35 is the home for Respectable women

That makes sense as Matron appears on the census and all the young women are employed in service type roles
Hi HarryHi Joy Clent, I lived at 20 Brougham St from my birth 1951 until we moved in 1964/5. Unfortunately Joy I cant remember your family members, the only person I remember in the area you mention near the corner was Alan Bowsherman. (im pretty sure it aint spelled it correctly) his Dad I think was an American.
