The factory Ultra Guards, we used to clean the windows every two weeks and we also did the first clean when they moved into Burlington street.
the first entry passed the factory led down to my Aunt's house behind the factory her name was Amy Hunt we used to jump the wall in her garden into Webster street.
s couple of houses past the lamp post was where Johnny Prescott lived with is Nan when he came out of the Cottage Homes Erdington.

It was nice to see Lyn, but I have no affection for that house, the toilet was right across an open courtyard, it wasn't a back house, but it was rather dark as the wall of the factory ran along the left of the house right up to the toilet. We had good neighbours and of course it was only a few yards from Newtown Row where I did my shopping, the Aston Hipp. was only round the corner so everything was to hand, and I was born in Copeley Street, a cul-de-sac off Burlington Street near to Parliament Street.

You are down at 57. The red ringed number is your electoral number and the yellow highlighter shows your house number.
