My library of photo's of Winson Green is very thin, and after a good search I have come to the conclusion that I do not have one of Barford Road.

Have you tried here

Follow the link and enter the site and if you go to the schools section there are many photo's and mentions of Barford Road and School.

I just remember hockley brook, and the copper. I think the pub was called "the benyon" i also remember a pub called "the bridge" next to h samuels
 
Thank you Mike for the map and thanks for those links and photo's.. My friend from that road is re joining the forum after her computer was hacked into and she lost everything.
 
I attended barford road school and left in 1960 it was then a secondary modern school
