Thank you Rob for confirmation. More happy memories from a photograph. I did a paper round when I was a fourteen in the surrounding streets and my primary school was Windsor Street. Thank you BHF. Kind regards, Sue.

Hi all, I lived a short distance away from Great Brook Street and knew it very well. Could any of our members tell me if the corner shop was ever a greengrocery shop, the late fifties, early sixties My memory is telling me it was owned by a lovely elderly lady, named Mrs Clarke. Her hand...

Thank you for the pics Steve. Fab Many places I recognise, as this is my ‘area’. I will study it in depth later. Kind regards, Sue

Hi Aston lad, Yes, what a brilliant photo. Unfortunately, I am useless with Ariel views and really struggle to spot places. I will go back and study it later. Aston will always be close to my heart, working there until 1970 and following the local football team! Would the building in Aston...

Those were the days Pedrocut. Two days before the birth of my Daughter.. Kind regards, Sue

I do hope so superdad3. It is a beautiful building. I used the library when I attended Bloomsbury Girls School in the sixties. From memory it was immaculate inside. The highly polished wood, the smell, everything so neat. It was so quiet in there, just the squeaking of our shoes or the...

Love this photo and yes definitely a Monday. Remember them so well. Just like my Nans yard but where is the old mangle. Lol. Brilliant, thanks Steve. Regards, Sue.

Ashted Row, just a stones throw from old home in Gopsal Street, though this photo is not familiar to me, as we had left the area in 1967 and moved to Sheldon. I am hoping that one day Steve in the dregs of your folders you will come across a photo of Gopsal Street. There is nothing on the...

Yes, yes they do. We all had our “Sunday Best” didn’t we? What a great comment cba. Happy days. Regards , Sue

Just love this pic, so carefree. Reminds me of my own childhood. #2047 too. Thanks Steve.

Thanks so much for the pic Trebor, fabulous. It looks a lot smaller than how I remember it... Perhaps because I was only young or memories fade. Nonetheless, great to see it. Like you I used to walk there to do shopping for mom and nan. You had a little further to walk than me, Curzon...

Hi Penny, Welcome to the forum.. Gary went out with Joy Smeaton. He was about sixteen. How amazing is all this. So many memories for you all. Kind regards, Sue.

Hi Jen, Little memories are coming back now for Gary. Are you ready for this. Apparently he asked Sheila out, she already had a boyfriend at the time, so the answer was a polite no. It has come back to him about the twins too. Jan and her husband lived close by to us about forty years ago...

I didn’t attend Perry Beeches school Jen. I was an ‘Ashted’ girl and lived in Gopsal Street until 1967. If you have a sister named Sheila, then it is Sheila that Gary remembers and not yourself. Like the rest of us Gary’s memory of school days is diminishing. The teachers he remembers well...

Hi Jeanette, Do you remember Gary Freeth from Perry Beeches School? Kind regards, Sue

I had an appointment at the FPA in Holland Street in 1969, my husband decided to wait in the pub, not far away. He was approached by by two plain clothes officers, asking if he would mind standing in a line up. He explained that he was waiting for me and that he couldn't help. Thats okay they...

Sorry for the late response to this post. I was amazed when I found out that this photograph was Stafford Street. It is nothing like how I remember it. Stafford Street was around the corner from Coleshill Street and a stones throw from my home in Gopsal Street. There used to be a tv shop...

Thought it was . Was S J Williams a Tailors Viv.

Thank you Mike. I used to walk up James Watt Street to get to the Evening Despatch. At Saturday teatime, I would wait outside the printers to collect a dozen or so Sports Argus straight off the press. I would then sell them to family and friends in our streets. I bet I didn’t make more than...

I am saying this is James Watt Street. I am sure there is a side street at the top there, . Would it have been down to the old Evening Despatch offices. Dalton street? Or am I making a fool of myself! Sue
