Hello I'm Thelma cheslins daughter that was her name b4 she married my dad, I have found more photos on here to show her I need to go down to her house and get the old photos out, I have an old picture of my mom and dad married at Birmingham register office in 1947! But I don't really understand this site so I don't wanna be going round posting pictures of my mom and dad

Looks like the nearest is 78-85 kindly posted by Astoness



Anyone link house map numbers to photo?

Assuming the first 2 houses are 79 and 79a, then counting along wouldn't no's 86 & 87 be shown at the far end, the 2 square doorways before the arched entry?

My brother John and his army friend painted all the woodwork on front of house yellow while my mom was out she went mad when she saw it she said it looked like an Asian house and it stayed like that till we left in 69

right first here is a map showing 127 and 132....132 is 2 houses down from a gap...

first photo the caption says no 125 to 132 but not sure about this as the map shows 132 after gap not before it...maybe you will be able to confirm as i dont know the street and captions can be slightly out..click on photos to enlarge and hope they bring back some memories for you

second photo caption says shows nos 133 to 140
