Small heath

If you look to the end of the road you can see a house. This house looks like the house (still standing) at what was once called six ways Golden Hillock Road. If you look at the rows of houses on the right hand side, they appear identical to those on Golden Hillock on the 30's. The road on right looks like Byron Road, before the post office so the wall must be the wall over the railway line just before you get to Armoury Road (BSA)

Was this the Betty Whitehouse born in 1932, and her mother was Alice Marson. If so, Alice, was my mother's cousin.

On which road did Betty Whitehouse live?

I am not sure which Road, it could have been around Chapman Road just off Coventry Road but cant be sure its a long time ago. I know she had sisters Diane, Edna, Doreen, and a brother Sidney. The last time I saw Betty was when my mother died in 1980, Betty was then living in Kestrel Avenue Yardley.

That's not Jenkins Street (Small Heath) Bridge. It's still a single bridge. The bridge in the photo is located on Bordesley Middleway.

Thanks Phil. These pictures are great. Do you know of a school called St Michael's Senior? I have also posted help for pictures of the following addresses: 2 the Retreat, Bordesely Park Road and 7/135 Irving Street and St Catherines Catholic Church Digbeth. My Grandparents married there in June 1946.

many thanks
Michaela

I've just realised that the picture I have is of Dowell's Retreat in Warner Street, which isn't the same place, apologies.
