Another photo for you Bob. I wonder if you recognise these

Awww. Such a sad face Bob. Though I know the feeling, as did one of my brothers too. Seems that we always had an haircut like this, which upset us.Here is a photo of me with some of my brothers when I was at an Open air school, & at our hour in Waterworks street after we moved from bracebridge...

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photo's Bob. We probably had fun in the playground at school together. Such a lot of years have past us by, & some memories fade with time unfortunately.

Hello Bob. I remember the shop. Yes, it was called reenies. I remember going in there every morning with my mum on my way to school, then again on the way home. This has certainly jogged my memory of happy times.

Would love to see the photo Bob. You are 2 years younger than me. I can only remember 2 people by name from Elkington Street school. One was a girl in my class, who I got on really well with. Her name was anne bird, & one of the teachers, who I did not like. Her name was Miss Barlow. She hit me...

Hello RRJ. Welcome to this wonderful forum. I used to live in Bracebridge Street around this time. My family lived at number 20. Unfortunately, I was too young to get to know many people, & did not get the chance to mix with many of the children in the area either. Went to Elkington Street...

Mr Brownsword was a brilliant gym teacher. He helped me complete my Duke of Edinboroughs award, even though I was scared in case I failed. Did not like mr tebbit. He always picked on me, but then turned decent as he had me working up on the allotment by the block. Taught me about bee keeping. I...

For what I remember, there were both number buses that took us to school, though one took slightly longer to get there due to the route.

This brings back happy memories.

I totally agree Walkscrow. I remember all of these. Absolutely loved Henry's. I can still remember the number of the midland red bus we used to catch to get back to school(145). How I miss those buses, & the old bus station.

Wow. What brilliant photgraphs Walkscrow. I was wondering, if the 3rd photo is of yourself as a lad

I know the feeling Walkscrow. I am always stubbing my toes on my bed at night. Lol

No problems Chris. I always like to share my memories with everyone & love reading everyone else's. Sharing our memoriesof thing from the past is what is needed in our lives. It keeps the old greay matter ticking over. I always say, there is a time & place for such profanities, & this is...

I know the feeling. That kind of stuff still goes on here. For some unknown reason, people tend to class us brummies as the lower class of society, when in fact we are the best. I have always thought that, even though I am not a true brummie, as I was born in Nottingham. I miss those old houses...

Hi Walkscrow. I can understand how difficult it is to remember names from all those years ago. Will keep that date in my diary. To think, you are just 2 years younger than me. I will be 68 16th july. Just had a thought. If you have facebook, we can have proper chats on there away from the forum...

Wow. I bet you miss living in dear old birmingham. I had a dislike for hunters hill due to the bullying, some of it from teachers like my tebbitt. As you wasin Clee house dorm, I wonder if you remember Patrick O'kane & his brother. Patrick was in Clee house when I was there. When I left in 1969...

I got his surname wrong Walkscrow. It was stephen braker. Yes, I remember singing that song too when I first arrived at HHOAS, though changed the old dump to something else as I began to enjoy my time there.I can remember what mr pinner looked like. He was shortish, bald, had a round face with...

If my memory serves me well, Mr Powell had missing fingers. I remember the girls coming over for dance nights, though I was too scared to join in.I can not remember a Male art teacher, though I do remember a woman teacher. I can not remeber her name though. Her class was my favorite as I learned...

Hi there Walkscrow. yes, I remember a mr jones. I can not remember if he was before mr brownsword. Yes, I remember Mr Pinner taking the photo's & the film shows in the assembly room. If I remember rightly, we had film night on a thursday evening. I vaguely remember the Mcclusky brothers, Though...
