Lovely pics!! I was born and lived in Handsworth until I was 16 in1969. We used to shop daily in Villa Road, and as a treat my sister and I were taken up Soho Road on Saturday, to the "big Shops". Used to go to the Elite Picture House and the Regal for Saturday Matinee....I moved away many years ago, and memories have faded, but seeing pics of the area and hearing others reminiscing, it brings back all the wonderful memories of childgood............Aaaaah!!!
