Hi All, Many thanks for your contributions to this wonderful thread. We lived just below Coleshill Street, in Gopsal Street. Woodcock Street was our local swimming baths. So many happy memories. Learning to swim without my water wings. Hot summer days, queuing and sometimes getting crushed...

Hi Clive F Great to read your post and lovely to hear that someone remembers The Blackpool fish and chip shop. Even more so that you worked in Coleshill Street. It is rarely mentioned, so over the moon when I read your post. It was an interesting area you are right. So many happy memories...
