hi sajid im sorry but I don't remember you, what year did you leave, where you in the same class, judging by your name I would assume you are of Asian extraction if so were you one of the cottage home lads ? any names you remember ? I still see roy cole (the drummer ) every week we are still best mates after over 50 years by the way geography teacher was mr linnell classroom next to the hall next to Johnson was religious education.( apologies to all who read this and have no interest in this school ) eddHI Eddi Lowe, This is Sajid Shah, I am sure you will remember me I was the runner ? anyway the Maths teacher was Mr Griffiths and the other one was Mr Hitchcock, whom we all had another name. Glad to hear you remember so many of the teachers etc the art teacher had a ginger beard, I recall when he slippered Stewart, he never cleaned his pants and upside down SAMSON would be on his backside all day, you could not get away with this today, and his classroom was next to the Geography Teacher Mr Jones also I think.
Those were the good old days.

Hi Saj
Well I certainly remember you and your brother, there were some really great and interesting characters at Slade Road; subsequently Erdington Boys school.
Hi what was the name of the sweet shop owner right on that corner of George rd and Slade rd ?Great photos! I had a friend who lived on Slade Road right opposite where George Road joins it. His dad was Polish and didn't speak any English whatsoever, even though he'd lived here for years.
I also remember a small garage on Slade Road that only did MoT's - I could never figure out how they made a living.

Yes that"s the one tall chap wore glasses. know the Street family by chance corner of George rd - Slade rd ?Eric Holden ?
I lived in Hillside road, opposite Hillaries Rd, next road down from Hunton Hill from 1962 till 1987 there was an off licence c/o Hillaries and Slade Rd owned by a Scotsman Jim Angus, we both worked for PO Telephones (later BT), his Wife ran the business, farther down by the railway bridge was an Asian green grocer, I used to give him the Worcester apples out of my garden and we went 50/50 on the sales, our garden backed on to George Rd MEB and Brookvale Park.
