Sorry all, I lost my way a bit over the last year. And what with all the forum changes I didn't get any alerts to activity on this thread. I feel a bit guilty about it as it was me who started it in the first place! Anyway, all sorted now !! Claire. I remember Pat and Doug very well. I was...

Yes. Sheila Bell, now O'Connor these last 50 odd years. Now lives in Great Barr. Her Daugher, Annette, my second cousin, is signed up here as Netty, hasn't posted now for along time, I must look her up again. I'll dig out the photo in the coming days and post it up here.

I Would really love to Lyn. And wouldn't it be great if Glenda and Max came as well !

And even more posts while I've been typing! Phew! I can hardly keep up with it !!

Oh Wow! I've not visited the thread in perhaps a year and nobody posted for months, I add something and then in a matter of hours, six more replies! Hi Glenda, yes I'm still here with the same email address. I've been thinking of contacting you but I'm such a disorganised so'n'so I lost your...

When I was a kid there used to be a big house with a pear orchard in the front (wonderful scrumping opportunity) directly next to Alexandra Terrace where we lived. There was a line of majestic sycamore trees overlooking the street and we kids had a great time playing with the "helicopter" seeds...

Thanks Lyn Without your wonderful organisation this wouldn't have happened. It was a great delight to meet you for the first time. And, of course, to meet Keith after 40 years was amazing. I left Brum in 1968 to migrate to Weston-super-Mare and Keith is the first person from our class at Harry...

PS I only wear the Army Trenchcoat at weekends !

HaHaHa ! Actually Keith, you haven't seen me for a fews years ! I still wear shorts and a cap now !! lol

Bob, Nice to see you back. I trust you are fully recovered? Whats that written on the bottom of the first pic of Nursery Road ? "Roughneck Street" Lol On the second one, as Lyn as pointed out, you can see H Samuel in the background. My Dad worked there for a few years until we left in 1968...

In the coming days I'm sure I'll get an inspiration to post some more memories of the Street but for now I thought I'd mention a few names of kids from the local gang who I have fond memories of. Already mentioned has been Freddy Round, Brian Bowler, Tim and Andy Beale. And then there was...

Thanks Bob. I guess as at least some of the guys are from Brougham Street it's still roughly on topic ! Lol I remember that the Bath Blues Festival in those days was actually in Shepton Mallet not Bath and was not so very far from the present Glastonbury Festival site. I know Shepton reasonably...

Hi Barrie The trouble with Friends reunited is that it's not very active these days. However, I may have Pauls email add on another computer. If I can find it I'll im it to you (maybe tomorrow). Maybe he can put you in touch with Roy. I was corresponding with Glenda Butler some time ago. Do you...

Yes. I remember "Horse". I can't remember why we called him that though Lol!!!! Well, actually that's a lie, I can ! But we wouldn't want to make Lyn blush now would we ! hahahhahahah ! Paul was on Freinds reunited some while ago. I wonder if we can get him to come here?

I'm almost sure that Roy Aston is the elder brother of Paul Aston. As Keith mentioned Paul was in the same class as Keith. I was also in the same class.

Bob. I'm choked up mate! What an amazing photo !!! Thank you so much I can't explain how pleased I am with this! Pity Brian was behind the camera. But I'm still really puzzled why I can't remember you !! Too many brain cells destroyed in a mis-spent youth I suppose !!!!! but ther agin I...

Wow Bob ! You have me with tears of joy in my eyes !! This is fantastic! All these names from the past that I thought were long gone !! Of course, Glen Alexandra, now you've reminded me, I remember him vividly, such an amazingly nice guy ! I remember he had a huge mop of frizzy dark hair at the...

And Lyn yes thanks, I did see the Nursery road pics you posted. They're Fantastic ! All downloaded now into my Brum collection. The 60s Bash ! When and where is it? I may be able to make it ! I got your email address thanks, I'll sort out the CD tonight and send you the Beech File

Now you got me thinking !!!! BobS???? I don't recall, sorry !! Are you meaning Freddy Round and Brian Bowler? I remember them very well ! No, we didn't move to Great Barr. That was my cousin's family at 4, Alexandra Terrace, we lived next door at number 5. We moved to Weston-super-Mare...

Also, keep looking on ebay. Millions of postcards were printed in the old days and it's surprising the vast number of scenes and themes they depicted. As I mentioned I just found the original post card of the picture of Brougham street I posted here. I'll be waiting anxiously for the postman...
