My son and his wife live in a cottage and have one of those airers in their kitchen now. I too remember drawing the fire with newspaper and it catching fire, safety just didn't get thought about then. My mom used to stand with her back to the fire with her skirt hitched up to warm her legs...

Hi everyone, Does anyone remember Jacky, she was a dwarf and a proper little minx, ofter wonder what happened to her, unfortunately can't remember her surname to make some checks. I did post a photo with her on sometime ago Denise

Hi Peter Great pictures of Brookvale Road, I will try and put the photo of granddad feeding his pigs on again and also if I can find it I have a photo of a presentation of prizes at the Barn. Since they have changed the site I don't seem to be able to attach photos. I'm very basic in my...

Hi Peter Not too sure if it is the right part of the allotments, it was many years ago, but if you can look at the picture of granddad feeding the pigs you might recognise where abouts it was. I do remember the Tamworth Two. Denise

Hi again Reg, I put a photo of granddad feeding his pigs on the previouse page, I have tried to check it but don't know what to do with the paper clip Denise

Hi Reg, My granddad used to have more than two pigs, he used to have a large boiler where he used to boil up the mix for them. I always looked forward to when he had a new lot of piglets, perhaps thats why I love pigs so much now. Denise

Has anyone got a photo of the courts in Lichfield Road please, my grandad lived at 2 back 96 with his parents and family. It would be great if anyone did. Denise

I will never forget the Post Office in Manor Road, I went to the Witton on an errand for my nan and as I passed the entry by the Post Office a man exposed himself, boy did I run home fast, I can laugh about it now. Denise

If I remember correctly grandads allotment was at the end of the row of houses, the Ridgeway end. They used to live in the house at the entrance to the Barn, which was owned by the Barn. Denise

Hi Pedro I remember sitting on the wall of the circular island with my packet of Smiths crips and bottle of Vimto, I've tried the modern day Vimto, it doesn't taste the same, but then I am a lot older ha ha - taste buds and all that. Denise

Aston Pictures I left Birmingham about 47 years ago and have just been going through looking at the pictures, they bought back so many memories. What a great collection, thank goodness someone kept memories. The Lichfield Road ones were great, my grandad lived in 2 back 96 Lichfield Road...

Just come across the Penfold Golf Ball factory, my grandparents lived in St. Margarets Avenue and my mom worked there, not sure if it was before or after she got married. It was a long long time ago though, just in case her name was Lilian Barry (nee Pugh) Denise

I agree Patty, wish I lived nearer John

Hi everyone, have just been going through some boxes and found this photo of my grandad, Thomas Pugh feeding his pigs. I used to love going to the alloments at the weekend helping pick flowers and bunching them up ready for the people to come and buy. The pigs were always my favourite and I...

Hi Astonian and all, its me again, not nagging about the photo but wondering if there was a Colin Pugh or Colin Meredith living in one of the back house who went to Thomas Street Boys. I am sure I had a cousin called Colin but unfortunately no one to ask, he would have been born around 1946. Denise

It would take us an about 1½ hours to get there, a long time for a short visit, never mind, perhaps sometime we might be in the area with the van staying nearby, you never know

Hi Jean, wish it wasn't as far away as would have loved to pop along to the fete, never mind, have a good day Denise :(

Hi again, Does anyone know if you can print your whole tree from Ancestry and if so how, or is it just page by page. Any help or advice appreciated. :rolleyes: Denise

Hi llamafarmer I have just read your message of two weeks ago, I am like you just can't get on with Ancestry. I can't find lots of things, Shera is the best for looking up things. I must admit my computer isn't the fastest in the world and I do get frustrated, confused and stressed searching...

Hi Astonian, no worries, it was just that I was reading through what you were saying about Aston Cross and thought I would put a reminder out. It would be great if you could find it - thanks Denise
