    Kingshurst

    Hi all. I am sharing these photos from when I lived on Kingshurst on Laburnum Ave as a wee nipper. It was from the fete possibly at St Barnabas Church in Kingshurst in 1970s.... around 1974-74 ish. I am hoping some people may recognise themselves or relatives.. who knows it would be fab if they did.

    Queens Coronation party 1953

    When we was sorting out our house as we were moving I also came across two sort of magazines/brochures. They were also from the Coronation Year. I did take a couple of photos of a few pages.
