This daycare arrangement operated from Oakfield House, Trinity Road, Birchfield. Does anyone know exactly where this was please ? I expect there were several of these houses set up for the care of munitions workers, especially in the Perry Barr, Aston, Witton area. Perhaps they weren’t available on munitions employer sites due to the safety risks.

Thanks for looking Janice. I wondered if it was one of the houses near the flyover near Trinity Church. I think I vaguely remember one of those houses (still standing) being (later) some sort of care/health facility. Mind you that would be at least 50 years later. Viv.
