Thanks again Phil, for the memories, many a time I had to stand with Mom in the Post Office opposite Farm Rd and the bank a few doors along where I had to take my money box to be opened.
The money box was an oval shape and I think the account was credited with a shilling as I was a pupil at Stratford Rd. Infant School. Having trouble with the banks name, think it was The Municipal, yes now sure it was!
Many people will remember the dances held at Cateswell house,in the 1950sOur next little walkabout takes us for a quick jaunt around Hall Green, In this collection we have the junction of Lakey Lane and School Rd, Pradise Lane, Sarehole Mill, the junction of Stratford Rd and Cateswell Rd, the junction of Wake Green Rd and Gracewell Rd.
With no atmosphere!The common denominator here, I guess, is you can still get booze t
Somehow the older picture looks more friendly & warm!Here we have Great Hampton Street in 1939 from Kenyon Street looking toward Snow Hill, quite a few changes can be seen though some of the old buildings remain.

Maurice, I left in 1962 its also what I knew...….....Richard,
I entirely agree with you - it was the only Brum I knew, having left in 1961 when they were busily smashing it to bits to build ringways and, etc. My visits back didn't start until 1988, were few and far between, so the only bit of the new that I got to know was the old brutalist library!
