Hi Walshann,

I went with Roy to see the Beatles at the Odeon! That takes me back a bit...

My memory is shocking Walshann I'm pretty sure I must have known your brother but can't place him , sadly Alan died a couple of years ago and I lost touch with them all donkeys years ago . I used to work with Alan and John but I knew a few people from around there from the Dolphin , there was Albert who was a Baggies fan along with Ozzy and Charlie, I think they both lived in Miles Street and a big guy who worked at Mcgeochs Barry apart from Ozzy's sisters Anne and Mary and Alans brothers Barry and George ? that's about all I can remember

Here are 2 pictures one of which is Beamish Road . Pictures were taken from outside the Plume of Feathers pub. The 2nd shows residents on Miles Street heading into Beamish Road. Sorry that the picture quality isn't to good here, they are old Kodak neg pics taken between 1970 - 1980
