Brummie a long time ago

I spent my primary school years living in Fazeley Street, and have a lot of memories of both the house and school. I can shut my eyes, and walk round the house easily. Lots of events at the primary school are still fresh.
Just after I started at Saltley Grammar, we moved to Shard End. I have lots of Saltley memories, good and not so much, but the house in Shard End, and pretty much the whole area is a big hole in my memories. I can remember, just about, the Crescent, and catching the bus to school. I remember the address, but would need a map to find it.
I left Brum for further education, and have not lived there since. I returned lots of times at weekends, but no memories have stuck. I brought my girlfriend ( now wife ) back there several times, and can remember the trips back to there with her on the back of the motorbike, but nothing about being there.
I am sure nothing bad happened there to cause a memory wipeout. I have loads of memories from my further education, so the memory banks were / are still working. I read on here about Shard End, and some place and street names sound familiar, but no matching memories get triggered. I am sure Shard End in itself is not to blame for this, it is a perfectly good place to be.
Anyone else have memory holes in their history ? Perhaps these memories are password protected, and I have forgotten it.
