    What was the best Generation

    Is there anyone out there from Ward End? I grew up in William Cook Road. Went to Ingleton Road, Thorton Road and Ward End Hall schools. I am female and I was born in 1946. Everyone seems to be from Alum Rock, no-one has mentioned Ward End at all. Love to hear from anyone.
