Yes, left there early 1958 and moved to Shard End. There's not much I can remember at All Saints. I did play in the football team around 1956/57, I can remember Miss Cole and Mr Manning, he gave the cane to a lad on the stage in front of the whole school,I remember that, I don't know what he did...

Nice to see that pic of the school panto, Carolina. It must have been the following year when I appeared in the xmas panto. I think it was Red Riding Hood, I played a tree, They wrapped me up in brown paper and some green stuff and I was part of the forest. Took some rehearsing I can tell you...

Don't know Sue, around 1900? The 1891 / 1901 census may be better. Unfortunatley I dont have access to these. Terry

It looks like the same picture Phil, but cropped. At least it confirms my guesswork of the address. Cheers Terry

Looks like you are right Dek. Plus, I reckon the woman standing in the first doorway is living at No 10. So the address is 10 Cheapside. Now all we need is someone with the electoral roll to find out her name. Anybody? Terry

It is in Cheapside according to the chalk marking under the first window. I can't make out the numbers if indeed it does give the numbers. Terry

I know Chris, and still as many teeth....

This one is of me being held by my father in our back yard. 1947. Note where they used to empty the coal down the cellar. Terry

There was a good thread going once called alleyways and passageways, (I think it was called that) There was a lot of info and pictures. At the time it was a popular thread and I don't know why it stopped, perhaps it ran out of steam. You could do a search for it and you might find something of...

Yes Phil, I have a book with that story in it,all fascinating stuff. The Harlequin was one of my regular drinking spots. I celebrated my 21st there, it was a good pub in its day. Terry

You are doing well so far Phil, though Maggoty Lane is a new one on me. A bit further on you will come to the Heathway where the bus takes you up to Shard End Crescent. Terry

Not that I know of Jean. The only place I knew of was off the Coventry Rd, Hay Mills. Terry

Robs correct, it used to terminate in Hurst Lane, then the route was extended by turning right into Freasley Rd, left into Longmeadow Crescent past the girls school, then up to the junction of Longmeadow Crescent/Kitsland Rd where it turned round ready for the return journey. Terry

James, sorry can't help you with the bungalows, but you will find it's Treaford Lane not Rd. In times past I have walked up and down that lane many times, and I have to admit I don't think I have ever noticed those bungalows. Terry

Would that be Reggies chip shop, Carolina? Terry

The Chester Arms or as I have always still called it The Timberley on the corner of Hurst Lane/Chester Rd, Castle bromwich is now closed and is being turned into an O.A.Ps home. Terry

My mom used to swear by a potato cut in half and put the two halves resting against the heels of new shoes overnight. She reckoned it softened the leather, I never seemed to notice the difference, still got blisters. Terry

Ok then Macca, I obviously did'nt remember correctly, so lets try this one. Terry
