Ďon't remember their names,but i remember the round hut they worked from with the benches all around it.I was born in 1948 and grew up in Tyseley, playing on the swings and roundabout but was scared to death on going on that big metal framed thing where you sat on it and someone stood on the end and pumped you up going higher and higher(no thanks).As i got older i played football with my mates on the park green.The toilets were the far end of the park by the exit (or way in)
Seem to remember a large brick structure maybe an air raid shelter down the far end of the park,but was fenced off.The park keepers took no nonsense from anyone,mess about and you were out.
Thats about all i can remember about the park.Good times now gone

The idea may not have lasted long but the deeper than usual roof canopy did, it was still there a few years ago
Some of this view is still very recognisable, although much of the street furniture has gone, including the Bundy clock at the tram terminus.
Some major changes to this scene.

I am enjoying these wonderful pictures and memories of Acocks Green.
Does any remember the Banks shops in the village?
