Sorry, had forgotten I had replied previously. John

Hi My name is John Horton, used to live at 105. I have attached a couple of photos, hope they are of interest.

Hi Norman I was in the first intake to Lordswood and also passed my 11 plus from Dudley Road School. My time at Dudley Road was not spent in the main building, but in a "Church Hall" on Cuthbert Road at the corner with Winson Green Road. We had to pack away our books in cardboard boxes every...

Just found 1960-64 Year books, attached 1962 Form 5S signatures and 1964 6th form photos. See who you recognise. Geoff and Kalsi obvious.

Hi Rosie Just been looking back at messages and saw yours. I remember the girls school being built. We, the boys were very excited- girls over the field !! I seem to remember the home times being staggered so we theoretically didn’t mix. That worked well !!!!. Do remember a girl, I think was...

Hi Don Just looking through older messages and saw yours. I wonder if you remember me. I was Telford House Vice Captain the same time as you were there. I was better known as “titch Horton”.

Hi Phil Do not seem to be getting alerts, so only just seen this. Went to Surrey Uni with Paul and shared flats with him. Is that him 2 row from top on right in 5T photo ? I am “stuck” in the US at the moment, but have now got flight home. I have some photos, but I was in the S stream, so may...

Cannot remember which was which, but think Harborne was the one with the changing “cubicles” around the pool, so if you dropped your clothes they got soaked !!!!

Not quite your era, but I was Telford House Vice Captain with Paul Latcham as Captain during your early time at school.

Hi I have the same Stone Buildings photo. I am the “page boy” in the middle near the center. My dad is sitting cross legged and my brother is Charlie Chaplin. John

Thanks for the info on Geoff, I never knew he reached such “heights”. The web says he may be in LA, I would like to see if I can contact him as I am often in California, but think that may be difficult. Titch

Just shows how naive we were way back, our only antic was to go out and buy a small loaf, pull out the middle and stuff it with chips. At 5ft, there was no way I could go in a pub !!!! Titch

Hi Phil Sorry for the delay, I have been away and did not have my log in info. How did you manage to remember my “addiction” to brown sauce and visiting my mom. And yes I still love it, especially with cottage pie. Need comfort food in my dotage. Tech teacher-Mr Harrington. I went off to Surrey...

Hi Phil I was also in the first intake and in the same form with you. I was known more as Titch Horton than John, even Mr Harkness called me that. Didn’t you have some connection with ELO, or is my memory going like the rest of the body. John
