GRANGE ROAD, SMALL HEATH

  • Thread starter Thread starter Jerry
  • Start date Start date
In the late 50's, early 60's, I lived in Grange road opposite Bertram road, at the other end of the block of terraced houses from the Nelson pub.

We had an outside toilet in the yard that was shared with our next door neighbours. We were also lucky to have a "brew house" where Mum did the washing in the copper over the boiler. We used to have baths in this from time to time! At the Coventry road end of Grange Road, opposite the "Grange" cinema there used to be a cake shop called, I believe, Cogzills(?) (I'm sure that's not the correct spelling). I went to Somerville road school and Barbara Cogzill was in my class. Other people that I remember from those days are Christine Clarke, who lived at the junction of Grange Road & Muntz Street, Graham Philips, Derek Osbourne,and Alan & Barry Green

My aunt & uncle lived in one of the back houses at the bottom of Wright street.
