I remember watching Cawdor Crescent and the flats and houses being built. Cawdor Crescent went through the back garden of the property we lived in!!! NoddKD

I discovered heaven in the Swan around May/June 1972. My first taste of Guinness and the start of a friendship that is sill going strong.:yum:yum

I would've enjoyed visiting the Belgrave pub in Balsall Heath. Spent many hours outside drinking pop whilst my Dad was inside supping with his twin brother. Never made it inside;always intended to. One of those things that never gets done until it's too late. :confused: NoddKD

Also looks like your first RTA.o_O:):) NoddKD

Reading of this school has reminded me of the after school club that was run a couple of times a week. I recall table tennis being played in a room to the rear left of the stage and cricket played outside. Can't recall any names but I did enjoy going there. Just an afterthought, I also paraded...

Much like today's recruitment adverts/scams. If it sounds too good to be true ,it probably is.:confused: NoddKD, the cynic.

I always greet a single magpie. As a nipper I always held my collar if I saw an ambulance and recited "touch my collar,never swalla (swallow) hope I never go in one of those". Then only let my collar go when I saw a four legged animal. The world has not ended so it must work. :) :);) NoddKD...

What was the large building with all the windows in the back ground? Nodd KD

Just finished watching Citizen Smith on Forces TV. I don't find it as funny now as I did all those years ago but still enjoyed seeing it again. NoddKD

I think it would be really wonderful to find who who she was.

Not little old me.:( From Martin's posts I think I arrived at Farm St School as he was leaving. To be honest I can't recall being in a photograph like this at anytime in the school. I vaguely recall photos being taken at some point in the Nativity when I played Joseph! I would like to see THAT...

Possibly ,but no bus depot around the corner.:) NoddKD

Sounds like you lived in Nursery Rd. The left turn would have been into Hunters Road. There was a bridge there;with a clock if I remember correctly. I believe the bus depot was in Heaton Street. NoddKD

Hockley Station to Snow Hill. 3d return. From where I lived in Welsley st walking would have been quicker but not as much fun. Nodd the traveller.;)

My sympathy Lyn. Suffer the same myself. Tried everything, no drinking,no tea,coffee, bed early or late. Even tried natural sleeping aids such as Nytol all to no avail. As you say we have to soldier on.;) Nodd the sleepy.

Hi Lyn, can't think why I didn't know of St George's in Newtown. As a nipper living in Hockley we roamed far and wide in the local area. You would think a school with the same name as one I had attended would stick in the mind. Perhaps I did know at the the time but the woolly memory let me...
