Hi Joyce,

Was at Dixon Road Junior 1957-63 and lived in Victoria Avenue (footpath only between Lawden Rd and Bolton Rd). Graham Humphries lived next door and Eric Jones on the other side. We all got through the 11+ and went to Bordesley Green Technical School for Boys. Moved out of Brum in 1967 when they cleared the 'slums'. Happy days.

Recognise any of the names?

I went to Dixon Rd, it was my first school. I left in 67 to be a ten pound pom at the age of 10.
I have some great memories, my best friends, Jimmy Smithers John Milnes and a lovely lass named Leslie Gould.
Jimmy and I were a bit disruptive it seems, I remember a certain slipper reminding my bottom to behave lol.
