Hi Carol
This might help, either click on search or Main Sites put in the name ie Alam st or Clifford St and you will normally get all the posts that mention those places

Don't give up if you have no luck come back to the Forum and you might be surprised Good Luck:)

Thanks Lynn, now you have me wondering did my Gran go there?:rolleyes:

She lived there at one time, she got married from there
 
hi alf. she most likely did. my mom went to alma street she was born in paddington st. i myself spent only the 1st 6months of schooling there then when we moved i went to farm st. i think i may have one or two pics of the back entrance of alma school if anyone is interested. lyn:)

Yes please Lyn:)
 
will you bare with me on the pics. i am having a problem lol by the way do you know what year any of your family lived in alma st only i have lovely pic of a lady on the step with 2 of her children taken in 1932.
 
Bit early I think Lyn 1896 she was there and got married from there, her first child Daughter(Aunt Ettie) was born there 1898 a Son Uncle Richard 1901? Then they went off to London to find work. She came back about 1906 when her husband died. Don't know where she lived then:(

Worth seeing though:)
 
alf here the one of the lady with her kids. still having probs with the school ones will ask my son to help when he gets back. ps adding a couple more but i may have already put these on somewhere else.
 
Great Lyn, the back to backs are almost like the one where I was born in Newtown Row and its great to see the brew houses again. thanks :)

The picture on the right shows the corner of Clifford St, where I lived , right opposite E.J Leek or Levics it was also called, it caught fire a couple of times, nothing to do with my mum who worked there :D.
Brothertons was the shop where I bought my comics every week. The Beezer , Topper ,Dandy & Beano.:) I really do miss the place.

Thanks' for those, they must have been up the other end, we never had bay windows. :rolleyes:
where had you used to live then? I'll have to get some of my pictures scanned and put them on here, not that we have too many :(
 
i was born in paddington st. then moved to villa street till i was 18. any you have of the area would be great. still searching for one of the vine inn that was in villa st. just about everyone knows that by now lol
 
Will keep my eye's open for you, I have a book here with some pubs but the only Vine I can find is Lichfield Rd/Sandy Lane.
 
cheers carole. seems we can find every one except mine. been trying for 12months now. not even anyone one here has found it yet. still never say never

Hi Wales just came across your discussion on Alma St. I was born in Alma st Feb 1960 .My memory is usually rubbish ,but i remember Alma st school very clear although i was only 5,6and 7 when i went there .I remember the entry at the side of the school leading into a square playground. my class was up a iron staicase .the school had rabbits which were kept in a hutch in the playground I remember seeing my first father christmas in assembly here.We lived at number 66 .Does anyone else remember the school or is it just my imagination .
