Hello Ivan. I used to live next door to the searchwell's (the other side of the entry). I also knew the mullins's. Fancied carmel mullins. Always spent time together.My dad did not like the family, so kept me & carmel apart. She had a brother Kieran.

Thank you Mikejee. Been far too many years since I lived down there. Trying to picture where all the houses was situated has been difficult. I now know how far I was away from Lyn's auties house.

Thanks Lyn. I have just remembered. It was nechells.

Thanks Pete. I never knew that. My dad never told me anything about his work, though he did tell arthur, as he was dad's favourite. I can remember dad bringing some brass buttons home one day after finish his night shift.I can always remember the large sign above the factory. If I am right, the...

Thank you for that Lyn. It was walmer street park we used to go to. i do not know how I came up with bloomsbury street. Maybe another park. From the look of the map. It looks like your aunts house was opposite ours. We was number 20.

hi Lyn. If my memory serves me well,I think your aunt's house was opposite the chippy. I think an irish couple ran it. I used to go to the park too. My memory is not as good as it used to be, but if I can remember, there was a park opposite the bus garage in miller street. I think it was known...

Thank you Mike. Yes, I remember my dad telling me it was enots, but when my dad took me & my 2 brother's there for their christmas party, I remember looking up & seeing Benton & Stones. I never knew why until now why the Enots

My dad used to work at benton & stones when we lived in Bracebridge street. I think that was around 1963ish.

Just been reminded of how our houses were in those days. I had forgotten, but my house was at the front, & other houses backed onto ours. A bricked walled & floored courtyard.A gas light sat on top of the wall to light the whole area up at night. Those were the days.

Hello John. Had a look at the map. Unfortunately, it appears that is a map of the Lozells area.unfortunately it does not show aston road/bracebridge street junction, but from what I remember, The white hart once stood on that spot. My dad used to drink in there most of the time. Have not seen...

If my memory serves me well John, I think picture 4 is showing the house at the back. remember living in a house that I had to go up an entry to get to the front door. We had a large bricked court yard with the brewhouses at the top. I was only about 8ish when I lived there so my memory would...

Hello Lyn. I have just worked out which was my old house. I thought it was the one by the woman & child, but I was wrong. It was the one by the gritting bin. The chippy was next door going down towards the Bartons arm I only remembered as I was reminded of how big window was. My dad worked for...

I was born in 54, so would have been in the same class as your mates. Pity I was so shy & never mixed with anyone at that time.

That is true. I was born in 54.

Hello Aston Lad. I have found the group on facebook & am now a member. Saw a photo of all the teachers. I recognised Mr Parker straight away, even though it has been around 54 years since I was there. The memories keep flooding back. I bet we was in the same class when being taught by Miss Rock.

That is so so true. A massive thank you Lyn.

Hello Dave. Unfortunately,I do not remember any of the people who lived near me. I was too young to remember when I moved to Bracebridge Street. It is a pity my parents are not still around as they would surely have remembered.

Thank you Astoness. Not seen that photo before. From what I can remember, my house was the one by the woman & child. It's been around 55 years since I was living down there, so is hard to remember. I think the chippy was where the gritting bin is. Thank you for the photo Astoness.

Hi Aston Lad. Ya right. It was Mr Parker. Was not too keen on him though. I am on facebook. Will check that out shortly. thank you for that info Aston Lad. If only I could remember or stayed in touch with a few pupils from my school days. We may have knew each other all those years ago.
