Thanks for replying - so do you have personal memories of Beechcoft Home?

Hi Mooky, I've been trying for years to find information on Beechcroft mother and baby home in Belle Walk - is this the same place that you spent time in?

In the days when neighbours looked out for each other xx Thank you xx It's 29 years this month since we lost Dad. It was such a shock! But Dad always feared illness and he would have known nothing about it! For that I will always be thankful xx Do you remember Les Brown? He ended up in a home...

They certainly would! Not sure if I have got this right but did you take my Mom to Heartlands following the ambulance when my Dad had a heart attack?

Hi Martin, nice to hear from you xx Remember your folks too and your sister. Happy days in Millington Road! Hope you're all keeping well xx Don't think Dad ever went anywhere without the trusty pack of mints in his pocket xx

Hi Ken, Ray is my husbands name, my maiden name was Sue Bowen and parents were Anne and George. Fond memories of your Mom and Dad, when my sister and I used to stay in the flat in our pyjamas when our parents were both working. Somewhere I still have a silk pyjama case that your Mom made for me...

I had family living at 106 Muntz Street - does anyone have photos or maps of the area showing that property please?

Thanks Mikejee, that's great! Do you have any idea what the large 'building/space' is that the court backs on to?

Hi, I've recently sent for the birth certificate of my husbands mother and she was born at the above address. Does anyone have a map or photos of that part of Aston please?

In the records it lists Florence M Tustin marrying Harold Matthews in JFM 1938 in Warwickshire, Meriden. Hope that helps

Hi Castalla, Thankyou for your lovely tribute to my Mom and Dad. Moms name was Anne and she also worked at Fisher and Ludlows. She was in the print room (1970 - 1980) and worked with Joan Evans, Tom McGilbury and Harry ? I remember your Mom and Dad too. Happy days! I have great memories of...

Hi Janet, What was your maiden name? Georgina is my sister and I'm sure to love to know what people are up to these days! Life going too fast...

Was it Susannas once?

In the photo with the sick bay - it certainly was set up for the photographer. The man in the glasses with his leg propped up was my Dad, George Bowen, who was the 'welfare officer' there from 1950's to late 1970's - and there was nothing wrong with his leg!!

Hi there. Does anyone have any photos/memories of the girls school covering 1965 to 1972? They were my years there and would love to go back down memory lane.... Thanks Sue
