Hi mike /Phil
I Hope You do not mind me interrupting on your thread again have we reached any agreement on this thread but just reflecting
On An Issue looking at the next page in carl,s book on page 81 and as you know before the first world war it was listed as
The High street stirchley but prior it but previously known as stirchley street then renamed pershore red as of today's name
But getting back to the. Paragraph on page 80. They built the new building of the school which was sixteen years later
And was openend. Up by the kings Norton school board by now the strutley was in decline and was not. Given to the new
Faculty,, instead it was called the stirchley street board school
And what I want to suggest well to me looking at the pi ture on the following page which is 81.
The old high street before the war And Phil mentioned. Hazawell street many years back if you came out of that street
And turned left as if going towards. Cotteridge ,then look at the picture what Carl as put on
And look at the pictures emediately on your left hand side of the picture and in realality you was there in back in time
About one hundred and fifty yards you would have been out side the school gates of what we. Are discussing
And in hose days it would have been stirchley school it was still activated for a school through to the sixtys even thou
The original the building was changed from its purpose as I recall it
Also guys if I have still got your Attention for a moment if you read the first couple of lines of content regarding the picture
Naming names the drapers have only been left about eight years back I think ,but what I also wondered as. A queery was the
Named Johnsons , Walter Johnson,, as I recall in the fifths and sixties right up to the virtually ending of the pershore road trading for bussiness
Was another member of Johnsons took over that said and ajoing premise of Mary Vale rd was BobJohnson
Whom was second fjrtiture and antiques I wondered whether he may have been an sibbling from within there family tree
Just short walking back on the opersite side of the road by the first lamp post on the right hand of the picture
Would have been the big green grocers on the corner ,best wishes Alan,,,astonian,,,,
