Clifton Road Sparkbrook

Obdsmith
Are you sure of that house no. I dont think the Aston Clifton road went as high as 275. The Balsall Heath one did
 
Thank you, my error, yes it should be 275 Clifton Road Sparkbrook!
My husband lived there with his foster parents during the '60s. We googled it and found 275 but it didnt look as remembered.
 
There appear to be a number of other threads about Clifton Road, Balsall Heath/Sparkbrook but the only photos seems to be of the school and a glimpse of some houses seen in a photo of the Imperial Cinema.

Kathleen Hancock and/or Frederick Findley seems to be listed on the ERs early 60s. There were also some houses listed back of 275.
 
It is listed in 1964

Hi, yes it was Fred Findley who was husband's foster father, I think Fred and Kay (kathleen) married in 63 or 64. we have 1 photo that has a very small section of shopfront.

Husband says delivery's came in that way. Also after they bought 277 the upstairs at 275 was converted to a flat where Janet and Gordon lived, stairs up from what was kitchen.
I'm really annoyed I cannot find other photo. It was a colour photo of Kay and their dog Patsy on the doorstep.
