Born 1953 - William Street Lozells - I remember our co-op milkman was named Albert. I can see him now, a big mop of black curly hair and Buddy Holly type specs. Can't recall his horses name though ! Moms co-op No. was 70657 and my nans was 105505

I seem to remember that the 'breadman' also delivered by hoss'n'cart
 
Hi, silhouette53, You mentioned being born in 1953 in William St, Lozells. My Wife was born there to at 3/43 William St. in 1928. We came to USA in 1953. the year you were born. It's a small world.
Have a nice day, Wally.
