I was born in 1966 and was only four when my family left Dollman Street, Vauxhall, Nechells. My Sisters went to St Anne's and some went to Duddeston after for a short while. I vaguely remember playing in the train park nearby! Our house was a back to back, had a cellar, outside toilet, brew house (I think?) and was old and run down which led to it being demolished not long after we left in 1970 I think?
If you look at my photo album you will see pictures of inside my house, Dollman Street and the outdoor which was near, on the corner I think? As I say I don't remember much but my Dad proudly remembers his darting days for The Railway Club in pubs like The Rocket! Mom fondly remembers the happy times despite us not having much, times when neighbours were friendly and you could leave your front door open without any fear. Oh what great times they must of been!?
