Holy Trinity RC School, Oakley Road

[Charmers]

Afternoon all,
I’m hoping someone might be able to help. I’m a history teacher at Holy Trinity School, Oakley Road, Small Heath, and myself and a group of students are putting together a project on the school as it’s coming up to the 50th anniversary of the school.
We are looking for photographs, stories, especially information on the past history of the site. We would love to talk to any past students, parents or staff.
Hopefully, someone can help, the students are very excited to put information together
Many thanks

Thank you so much, I’ve just had a Quick Look. They look fabulous, the students are going to love looking at the old maps (and me)

If you make time to learn it properly then you can find the overlay - an old map on top of a modern google earth type view and fade between the two.

Will do, I’ll have a play around with the maps.
