I know this is a long shot me and my sister used to visit our aunty gert and uncle jim buckerfield in i think park road or park lane hockley ,we used to get the no8 and seem to remember the road used look as though it was going through a tunnel there was always street lights on when we got of the bus then if my memory serves me right we used to walk up a hill with houses all the way up and where they lived seem to remember a long brick wall opposite with no houses , i have saved the pictures lyn has put on but cannot see any thing resembling what i have described any info or photos would be interesting . Like i said a rather long shot

Philbee, Just wondered if you have seen the Icknield Street thread. #286 and a few more pics of the tunnel you maybe remember.
 
Phil yes you would have caught the Number 8 - coming down Monument Road and then Icknield Street (under Hockley Train Station bridge) got off at The Flat walked along there and then turned up Park Road. Can you remember the number in Park Road
 
Phil this is the corner of Park Road (to the left) and Ford Street just as you come off The Flat and where you would start a slight incline to go up the road

 
topsy

I did a search for icknield street but all the threads that i looked at , the dreaded hacking has wiped the photos unless i am looking in the wrong place.

Philbee - Electoral Rolls 1945 to 1955 show James and Gertrude May Buckerfield living at 332 Park Road, All Saints Ward.

In 1939 they were at 2 Sandown Terrace, Farm Street, Lozells.
