Aston road north commenced from Aston cross from jelfs coffee rooms 1930sand the junction of rocky lane
And Aston cross with park lane oppersite on the other side of the junction
And lichfield road running across it towards the city
Lichfield road ended at the corner of rocky lane and the golden cross pub on the very corner
And there used to be a police officier in the central of the junction wearing a white coat
As i said the golden cross pub was the stopping point of lichfield road
Once you reached there and continued to walk on by crossing rocky lane continueing your walk
Thats when it was Aston road north basicly its a continued main road along lichfield road
Its there that the jelfs coffee rooms was and next door was the municaple bank later became the TSB bank
Folowed by the pawn shop and woolworths branch then the old aldeph picture house
Which when closed down became the ATV Studios and when it was a picture house prior to the studios
I got knocked down by a hit and run driver in 1953 right out side the flicks on a saturday
Afternoon
My caluation would be for the ATV Studios about 100 Yards from the corner of rocky lane
And my father worked the Golden cross pub and also done all the releifes for all those pubs on that stretch
Of lichfield road and right up to HP Sauce Factory
My mothers parents and family had the coffee shops a.ong and down around the area rocky lane
Nechells ,lichfield road aston road north as well ,they was every where plus the chippies
On park lane eventualy sold to little cyril
Best wishes Alan,,,, Astonian,,,
