Proud to be a Brummie!
Used to work on Kingsbury Rd in the eighties and used to pop into the Lancaster and another pub nearby that was definitely a bit dodgy. The old shopping centre had some interesting shops but never seemed fully occupied, there was a dentist in there whose sole aim in life seemed to be to fill every tooth in my head:unconscious: i still have all my own teeth btw. I also had one of me ears pierced in the afore mentioned shopping centre:uncomfortableness::courage:. Concord Tower at the front always seemed a bit rough in my opinion:black_eyed: but it amazed me that the odd blocks here and there remained half way decent.Lived on the Vale in various locations.77/8 Vulcan house 79/80 Cadbury Drive before moving back to Kingstanding.Came back 83/6 living in Pioneer House before once again moving back to Kingstanding.Have cousins who have lived in Kenrick croft since about 71.
Loved the place, always felt it had a reputation it didn't deserve.
