Amazing survivors John. I wonder what happened to the old Traction engine that was in the park?It's nice to see that these trees in Walmer Park (as seen in post 384) survived even if nothing else did.
Bob, I'm sure the engine has been mentioned on one of the threads somewhere but I can't remember what was said, never actually saw it myself (other than in pictures), I lived in Parliament Street and went to Burlington Street school.Amazing survivors John.

Looks totally different to how I remember how Walmer park was. I much prefer the old look.It's nice to see that these trees in Walmer Park (as seen in post 384) survived even if nothing else did.
Seeing these photo's has brought back happy memories. Thank you for sharing these Brummie Lad.
Hi would you remember the skeldings of bracebridge streetHi Michael & thanks for the welcome.
Yes, I was the oldest child of four but still only a nipper myself (born 1956) Went to William Cowper infants and Elkington Juniors also, so only remember a few children's names from the time living there.
I have a photo of me and a few neighbouring kids who used to play in the back yards which I'll dig out and attempt to post.
Cheers Bob.
Hi Lyn yes I know Brian skelding he's a relative. His dad harry and my great grandad joe were very close. Was wondering if anyone had any photos of the street back in the 1960s for my mom who lived on bracebridge street. I will look at the thread thank youhi michael if you mean brian skelding he is a member of this forum although has not posted for a few years...brian lives in canada but a few years ago he and his wife came over to england and a few of us met up with them for a drink and a chat...if you read this thread from the beginning there are a few photos of brians visit

Sorry Michael, I don't remember any Skeldings. Apart from the McPhee girls photo which I posted I only vaguely rememberHi would you remember the skeldings of bracebridge street
so are keen to find out any details we can (be it of Margaret or any of her close family, as Margaret would be 88 at this point if she is still alive). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
