Hi Micheal66,Yes , your quite right, that wasn't a very good first post, My names Don, I was born in Birmingham in 1949, im looking for imformation about my birth mother whose name was Ann Mary Kirwan an resided at 151 Varna Road then, or any imformation
concerning other occupants of the house
Thank You
I remember in the 1970's Varna Rd had such a bad reputation that it was all pulled down, and new houses / flats built with the road altered and given a new name. The name Varna could not be used again. A useless fact is that Varna is a port in Bulgaria.
Early sixties working in Ladywood certain mechanics would roadtest vehicles around Varna road for the entertainment, certainly an eye opener for young impressionable lad.I was an apprentice at the Midlands Electricity Board in the 70's. Any call-outs to Varna or Princess roads were an education to a young chap, let me tell you, especially emergency calls at night. Enlightening, would be an understatement!
Steve.
