Thanks for the aerial shots John, not seen those before.

Me not happy with my haircut, back yard of 128 Bracebridge St (circa 1966) The state of the property!

Thanks for the welcome Sue.:) I was only 12 when we were re-housed in Erdington around 1968, not long before they started tearing the area down. Another memory I have of the street was putting my kid brother in a wheelbarrow with some sacking on him and doing 'Penny for the guy' outside the...

Thank you Lady P, :) yes I see it. Lovely period scooter too!

I left Birmingham 49 years ago (aged 17) for the North Devon coast. Still have an easily recognisable brummie twang. I think the holiday makers I meet in the summer keep me topped up !! :D

Great image!! thanks John.

Mom used to send me over to Reenies or if in the evening the Outdoor to get her 10 Park Drive tipped ( 1s 9d) I was allowed to squander the 3d change from the two bob bit.:D (twelve fruit salads and black jacks)
