Hi WendyP - it looks very much as though we must have been in several of the same places at the same time! We moved to Herrick Road from Duddeston in 56, so I finished my primary schooling at the school I'd started at - Loxton Street Junior - so I didn't go to school in the Alum Rock area. At 11 I went to Central Grammar, so still out of the district! We must know a number of the same people from Saltley Methodist - I went through Cubs, Scouts, Seniors & Rovers there. I can't remember who used to run the Brownies when I joined the Cubs, but later on my mother became Brown Owl, and my father was Group Scout Leader. I'll admit to having been born in 1946, so you can work it out from there......
