Hello Gillty. I have been talking to my best friend Ann Kendrick, she lived in Billingsley Rd I think. She remembers you and said that she has a picture of you taken in her back garden. Do you remember her? She married very young - seventeen as I remember. They stayed together but her husband...
Yes those were lovely pictures, I remember them all well. I also remember the train crash about 1960 at Stechford. My parents lived in Church road near to Bordesley Green end.
Are there any tradesmen around who worked for Birmingham City Housing who remember the dilemmas of working on pre fabs or council house modernisations containing asbestos? I'm interested in the the 60' 70's and 80's. If you have asbestosis like my carpenter husband you may be able to help us.
Yes I do remember that shop now, my cousin lived at 40 Patrick Road, and a girl I went to school with called Carol Watterson did too. How things change - and how fast life goes by..
Whereabouts was the shop? I lived in Partidge Road, then Hobmoor Road until I got married. Went to Cockshut hIll school.. We no longer live in Birmingham either, but do visit quite often.
