Thank you for this info Mikejee. Now I can understand what my grandparents meant.

Thank you Mikejee for sharing this map. My Grandparents always told me their address was 12/43, when in fact it was 12/45.It has been such a long time since I was down that way, (1969), & memories can get a little jumbled over time.

Thank you for sharing this lovely phot Harveypcm, & welcome to this wonderful forum. If my memory serves me well, I think the gap between the houses showing on the right, led up to my grandparents house.

Thank you for sharing Viv. They are fantastic photo's. A bit before my time there, but so welcomed.

Thank you for this MWS. It is such a shame all these lovely buildingshad be demolished. They had their own character.

I have just checked a map of the area. I think your door number was 67. Susan Blakemore sounds familiar. I know the feeling when it comes to photographs. Thankfully, my mum lept a few, but were lost when she past away. Here is a couple from the street for you. The shop on the corner of union...

Yes, it is nice to find someone who lived in the same street. Mrs Harrison was lovely. I always got sweets from her when I used to go in for 5 park drive for my mum. I remember the shop on the corner opposite the school, & the one on the corner of waterworks street & union street. I have a photo...

Hello Alwin, & welcome to this wonderful forum. I see that you lived in waterworks street. I used to live there too, & remember the lovely corner shops.. What number did you live at. I used to live at number 26, by the large entry which led upi to the garages. I had 2 brothers who went to aston...

Seeing these photo's has brought back happy memories. Thank you for sharing these Brummie Lad.

Looks totally different to how I remember how Walmer park was. I much prefer the old look.

Another photo for you Bob. I wonder if you recognise these

Awww. Such a sad face Bob. Though I know the feeling, as did one of my brothers too. Seems that we always had an haircut like this, which upset us.Here is a photo of me with some of my brothers when I was at an Open air school, & at our hour in Waterworks street after we moved from bracebridge...

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photo's Bob. We probably had fun in the playground at school together. Such a lot of years have past us by, & some memories fade with time unfortunately.

Hello Bob. I remember the shop. Yes, it was called reenies. I remember going in there every morning with my mum on my way to school, then again on the way home. This has certainly jogged my memory of happy times.

Would love to see the photo Bob. You are 2 years younger than me. I can only remember 2 people by name from Elkington Street school. One was a girl in my class, who I got on really well with. Her name was anne bird, & one of the teachers, who I did not like. Her name was Miss Barlow. She hit me...

Hello RRJ. Welcome to this wonderful forum. I used to live in Bracebridge Street around this time. My family lived at number 20. Unfortunately, I was too young to get to know many people, & did not get the chance to mix with many of the children in the area either. Went to Elkington Street...

Mr Brownsword was a brilliant gym teacher. He helped me complete my Duke of Edinboroughs award, even though I was scared in case I failed. Did not like mr tebbit. He always picked on me, but then turned decent as he had me working up on the allotment by the block. Taught me about bee keeping. I...

For what I remember, there were both number buses that took us to school, though one took slightly longer to get there due to the route.

This brings back happy memories.
