Bombing of Ash Road Saltley

suemalings said:
I lived in the flats at 55 Ash Road. They were built around 1950 and then demolished in the 70s I think. There were 3 blocks in all, numbers 55, 53 and 51.

I worked at Mrs. Cutts, the grocer down the bottom of Ash Road, not too far from the junction with Adderley Rd.

I lived at 44 and my mum used to send me down to Cutt's to get a quarter pound of ham or cornbeef. On my birthday Mrs. Cutts used to give me a 'Lucky Bag'.

You must remember Mrs. Cutts and her shop very well. She was a little lady with glasses. She used to keep all the money from the shop and every six months or so she used to dress up in her finest and get a taxi to go to the bank.
