Great photos MomaP and Chris. I wish we still had the ones of our street party. Very similar pics with the women fussing over the children which I remember. We had a couple of blown up photos for years at home and when I sorted through our photos a few years ago they were missing. I noticed on the Handsworth photos the ever present, in those days, plate of bread and butter although it more than likely was margarine that was spread on the bread! I tasted my first ice cream at our VJ street party and remember we had a huge bonfire where Hidson Road and Anslow Road joined, with an effigy of Adolf Hitler on the top of it.
