There do not appear to be any photos of Reynolds Rd apart from this aerial view dated 1937 showing houses being built. Perhaps the house you lived in had not been built at this date but probably completed by start of WW2. Boulton Rd on the left.Very old thread, but I lived in Reynolds Road from 1962-73 (My parents lived there from 1952) It was a great place to live and grow up in; the Jones family on one side and the Goughs on the other. I went to St Stephen's in Nineveh Road from 1966.
Very many thanks - indeed, our house was just off the right hand side of this shot. as the road began to bend round towards Tew Park Road. However, a friend and colleague of my Dad at Lloyds Bank in the Rotunda lived in the house at the top of the cul de sac at left.There do not appear to be any photos of Reynolds Rd apart from this aerial view dated 1937 showing houses being built.

I went to St Stephens 1973-1979. Mrs Flanigan was the head teacher then and I remember Mrs Bowes who lived in the caretakers house. I think I remember a Mrs Quinn as well as Mr Walmsley.Very old thread, but I lived in Reynolds Road from 1962-73 (My parents lived there from 1952) It was a great place to live and grow up in; the Jones family on one side and the Goughs on the other.

I used to live at no 40. Next door to the Roadknights and on other side the Wheways in late 60's 70's. My mother was a seamstress. Elsie Gibson. I remember a lot of people.i grew up in reynolds road handsworth, has anyone got any memories of that road and the surrounding roads, and the familes that lived there,mkent1
My best friend in the 60s was David Westwood, whose mother was Gillian. I can't remember his father's name but David had a younger brother, Peter. David was a commercial artist. When he married, he moved to another district.Wow, I lived at 40 Reynolds Road from 1956 to 1974 but my mum lived there until 1982. I remember a lot of people and the westwoods lived across the road from us. My sister Mary knew Gillian Westwood and she was her friend in the 60's
