Hi Everyone.
My father was born in 1919 in King Edwards Road, Ladywood. He said his first school was Gt Charles street school. Many of his friends said he was wrong that there wasn't a school there. He insisted he was right and told me he used to go in via a back entrance in Cambridge street. I have a 1914 ordnance survey map of Birmingham town centre, and guess what it shows, almost at the junction of Gt Charles st and Cambridge st., yes a school. Does anyone have any information about this school?
