Yes, my Mom use to take me to Lewis's roof in the 50's. I think there was all sorts of things to do up there, including a layout of a road where you could ride pedal cars and I think there were bikes too.

Hi When I left school in 1961 I worked on the record department at Boots the Chemist in New Street. I worked there for about 4 years and loved it. The reps from all the different record labels would come into the store every week with demo copies of all the new releases. I was always a...

Pat Lees lived opposite me in William Cook Road. I'm trying to think which corner shop you mean. I remember the swimming lessons at Woodcock Street baths. I always hated it, so much so I never learned to swim, which has always been my biggest regret.

There was also a Ted Haynes on Washwood Heath Road, Ward End opposite Sladefield Road. I remember going there with my mom every Saturday morning and feeling embarrassed cos' the Saturday boys that served mom would wink and smile at me.

Yes I knew that Southalls has gone. I was looking on Google Earth and thought I was looking in the wrong area - couldn't believe it. It made me feel quite sad actually, Southalls was an institution, everybody in Ward End/Alum Rock either had worked there or knew someone who had. When did it...
