    O.M.G. you have all been busy......in the photo she was Ivy May Bayley and name changed in 53 to Poole.... IF she was with her grandmother and Aunts/Uncles they lived in 1/66 Cheapside but cant say precisely when they left until they turn up at Firsby Rd in Quinton in 1939.

    Aston Street Birmingham

    More recognisable for me in picture 2 but only just. I only knew this area for a few years as I attended the Mathew Boulton School of printing from 1969-72. Even then the Uni buildings dominated things on the left side of Aston St.
