Pheasey Estate?

Thanks for that mikejee, it looks like it's where I was hoping it would be, my mother had cousins who lived there, in fact we were talking about it a couple of days ago. Now, I can tell my mom the name of the place.

Can someone show me on a map where Chapel Terrace was/is. I come from Saltley and have a very vague idea where it would have been, because I can see the gasworks.

My mom used to use that green soap that was mentioned earlier. She put the little pieces of soap left over from washing (some people might through it away) in a special implement, it was a metal cage about 3 x 2 inches, on a stick. She used to whish it around in the warm water to get suds.

Don't panic Mr. Mannering - Dad's Army

Ansells's Beer and HP Sauce make hell of a stink at Aston Croooss. My mum used to say that, everytime we stood waiting for the no. 8.

I can't remember any names. I'll ask my friends on face book , maybe they can remember.

I was at Hodge Hill Grammar from 1966 - 1972

Glad you stuck with it... a lovely picture with all those kids, you don't see this nowadays, for one reason or another (too busy texting, or 'stranger danger').

I never did learn to swim good, I kept sinking. I went to Nansen Road School, and we were took to Woodstock Street on a corporation bus. The best bit for me then was being able to get off the bus at the bottom of Alum Rock to go home. Then when I went to Hodge Hill Grammar School for Girls, we...
