Where did you live

Thanks for your response, Ray.
Yes, the last ground floor maisonette on the left towards Green Lane.
Always knew you were in Prince Albert Street.
I used to cut through North Warwick Street, into your road, and then Talfourd Street to school.
Happy days!

Re the picture of a boy on a bike just posted on the main site. I am fairly sure the boy is Reg Upson (Upton)? and the shop behind him on the corner of Upper Webster/Parliament Street was run by Cissie McHugh.

I was born at 87 Showell Green Lane, Sparkhill, opposite what was the Women's Hospital; grandparents lived in Cadbury Road; we then moved in early 1960s to Ferndale Road, very upwardly mobile; on marrying, we lived in a flat in School Road, Moseley, then Blenheim Road; due to promotion, I had to move closer to London, so we moved to North Bucks, currently in Buckingham & retired. Loved our time in Brum.
 
I did mention it years ago, but to bring it up to date, I was born at 120, Calshot Road, Great Barr, when it was Birmingham 22A. ( not Sandwell). I had a really happy childhood, and went to Beeches Road Infants, then Beeches Road Juniors. Calshot Road School didn't exist back then, it was just a field in the late forties and very early fifties. My spare time was spent either in the Quarry up to my eyes in sand and water or at the Beacon Cinema. Happy times.

First few months of my life in Primrose Hill, Kings Norton then Brandwood, Kings Heath until I was 15.
 
I lived for 30 years in Gladys Road, Bearwood when it was Smethwick Staffs. An entry terrace house just up from Thimblemill Baths. About 6 months in a block of flats while Gladys Road was renovated. I moved away then rented a house in Davey Road Aston walking distance to work at Perry Barr and got to know Aston Hall.

Later I lived in Woolacombe Lodge Road, Selly Oak (which was very cold) and in a flat on Pershore Road. Then we moved to Worcestershire. Birmingham constantly changes as does the population. I hope it continues to flourish.

I worked in what is now Eastside near what will become Curzon Street Station for some years, so I've seen some changes there too.
