Is this a joke ?? thats never gonna be Eric Burden & the Animals .
you would never see (if it is them ) on the streets of Birmingham
at that age , and besides the band was Geordie & from Newcastle
also the photo is early to mid 60s and Eric Burdon was born in
1941 which makes him in his early 20s .
ragga ....

hi all. ive just been given a book entitled poverty and opportunity 100 years of the birmingham settlement. it makes very interesting reading and heres a few pics out of it. maybe someone will recognise themselves. wales. im pretty sure this family are outside the 5 blocks of flats along new john st west. they are geach teviot ray schofield and martinau towers.
this last one has me stumped so i hope someone can confirm where it was. my guess is if you walk up that path the road running along is again new john st west and i think maybe the flats are some of the 5 i mentioned in the first pic. only a guess mind. im hoping someone will recognise the building. wales.
what great photos spargone..the factory on the right in pic 1 will be box carton corner of hospital st/njsw...in fact the building is still there...not sure what the location of photo 2 is but it looks familiar....i bet someone will know...and where are those children now
thanks for posting them if you have anymore would love to see them

Astoness,
I have quite a few of these. They were photographed by my mum on half-frame 35mm slides, hence the dust. I did a mass scan some years ago and decided it would take too long to clean them all and that I might damage them in the procees. I could always go back and re-scan something worth the effort. Most of them are of people who would have been clients of the Family Service Unit at the time, late 1960s, early 1970s, I guess.
I did think about privacy etc. but I have no record who any of the subjects were and at least forty years have passed since they were taken so they are pretty well anonymous.
At the time the slum clearance programme must have been nearly completed, new buildings were springing up in the city centre, underpasses, ring roads etc. yet still there were bare-foot children around.
