The first house I lived in after getting married, in 1988, was just off Stewarts Road, Winstanley Road, it is a mixture of terrace, semi and i think it the odd detached, it backs onto the park on Fieldhouse Road the other side backs onto houses that were on Bordesley Green East. The people who lived on Winstanley Road were very friendly and some had lived there for years, some had other family that lived on the road. I think Stechford had had its day by the time we moved into the area. It's a real shame as there are some lovely houses around the area, alot of the bigger houses are turned into flats and, as the pictures show, the local shops have seen better days. I thought during the 80's it could have been one of the areas that picked up as it was cheaper housing and good travel links with the railway close by but it never happened,
