Fb has Friends Reunited (new) now.

It was called Lonsdale House and was used for various office space, my sister worked as a photographic developer there in 1965 in one of the premises.

The Synagogue is 26, 26a, 26b, it says painters and decorators were 28-30 Blucher st, the lower half of Blucher Street was from Gough St/Upper Gough Street down to Holloway Head junction, and it was much steeper slope down than in the photo. Plus beyond The Craven Arms on that side of the road...

I have marked it in blue, there used only 1 road off on that side between Upper Gough St and it is Commercial Road.

Hi it was almost opposite the Synagogue, on the corner of Commercial St. If you look up from The Craven Arms in this photo, on the left hand side you can just see the White painted facade. We lived at 21 Blucher St which was opposite The Craven Arms and next to Joe Rann's grocers on the corner...

I lived in Blucher Street from 1955 to 1965, its definitely Burns and sons. This seems to be the company now, but it says landscaping and driveways on the fb page and they are in Durham .... Their contact details are attached so maybe email them? Burns & Sons Ltd is a highly rated, fully...

Just realised it was Mrs Allen for music not Mrs Harris

Hi Viv, it was Mr Slinn who drove the green sports car, triumph spitfire, and married an ex sixth former Barbara Beattie, I have a photo of him and the car someone posted on the friends reunited site some years ago. The Russian teacher was Mr Fischer, I remember him as a lovely gentle man...

Hi Sandra, I started MHGS in September 1967 and definitely remember you although you were the year below me, I remember your ginger hair and think you went on to join an athletics club in Birmingham? The Harriers? I think Fatima Whitbread trained there? Mr Smith was our maths teacher from...

I remember Mr Slinn, I believe he married an ex pupil, he was very tall yet drove a British racing green triump spitfire. He used to bring me goats milk from their own goats to school as I was ill for a while an lived in the Erdington children's homes, where I was somewhat neglected.

I don't remember this but oddly I was in the Erdington Cottage Homes, then called The Gardens from July 1969-July 1973 after the death of my mother. I had started at Marsh Hill Girls in September 1967 so maybe I was part of the reason for this event?

Hi , I attended 67-74 by then you could do French (compulsory) German, Russian, Latin, I think Spanish and conversational Italian at an after school club, a classmate, Teresa Devlin took them all... , in maths we had Mr Smith for years 1-4 but sadly he left as we went into year 5 and O levels...

I got married whilst still at school in the sixth form and 3 days after leaving went into the Emergency Ambulance Control on 999 lines for 10 years, had my first child after 5 years then went part time.

No problem, I have posted his details, I'll let you know if anyone responds

I can definitely ask on his behalf and if course he could join the group himself, but let's see if anyone knows him X
