Hi,most interesting reads.I was in Balsall heath late sixties early seventies,lived in Clifton road with the Warrens whilst I managed the Adventure playground and other projects in the community.My story of those days is included at my website under" what an extraordinary adventure" at https://www.thegypsypoet.co.uk
I noticed last week when passing, that they have finally demolished the Imperial Cinema on the corner of Clifton Rd and Moseley Rd. I spent many a happy hour in there. Saturday Morning the Alhambra Saturday Afternoon the Imperial. A days entertainment for a shilling.

The electoral rolls for 1962 liost Robert & Carol Rowes. The rolls for 1965 do not list that building , or several others nearby, so assume that they were then emptyDoes anyone know who were the tenants of the Gladstone pub, on the corner of White St and Clifton Road, between 1962 and 1967?
