Hi Jean, sorry I don't remember who worked there or how much we earned, your memory is far better than mine. I know I was on the broken biscuit counter and I can recall the band who played on Lunch Box coming in, remembered what they were called last night but forgotten again - was it Jerry...

It's great reading all your memories of Aston Cross, I used to work in Woolworths on a Saturday. One set of gt grandparents lived in Chester Street, the others lived in The Court, Lichfield Road. Talking of which any update on the photo Astonian ??? Denise

Harry came over as such a lovely man with no bitterness even though he went through and saw a lot. How I would have loved to have met him and listened to some of his lifes history. Lovely photos Mossy, must have been a really moving time. Denise

Hi Eric, not sure when the Bents moved into their house, which was a back house on Vicarage Road, maybe I've got 128 wrong, but they were definately there upto 1962 when I left Birmingham. Just remembered this photo, not very good but you may recognise them, Mr & Mrs Bent and Veronica in the...

Hi Eric I was friendly with Veronica Bent and if my mind serves me right she lived back of 128, do you remember the family. Diane Partridge lived in Sycamore Road round the corner from the school. We used the shop at lunch time for sweets and ciggies - naughtly, naughty. Denise

Found the photos of the ambulance control room, very basic, the two coloured ones were taken New Years Eve 1960, no date on the black and white one :)

Lovely photos, my mom used to work in the ambulance control room around 1960, have some photos somewhere, will try and find them and put them on. You never know someone might recognise someone. :)

When I lived in Yatton, I used to take my eldest two to Weston on the train, you could take a big pram on board it was great. I got hold of the timetable today for the buses to Weston from the Mall, Cribbs Causeway (I expect Mossy will know where that is) thought I would use my bus pass for a...

Jean and Patty, I remember a girl called Margaret Paget, but nothing about her Denise

Yes Jean if you are on about the girl you're sat eating your sarnies with, it is Anita Hargreaves. We popped in and saw Joyce Brittain today and I said you were going to email the picture of us beautiful bevvies in our costumes. I told her her family would have a chuckle, I certainly did
