Hi .Linda
Don street was on lodge road. And it was about 150 yards passed Bacchus rd coming down from the Winson green road
And it was opersite the big wall that ran down lodge rd which was the hospital wall
On lodge road there was a slight bend on the pavement With A safety railings for the pedestrians of about twenty feet long I would have said
There was houses coming pas baccuss rd then there was a couple of shops then there was the pub a little pub on that little bend of the pavement
And another shop that's where the pub you are on about a couple of yards passing that pub was the start of don street
When you walk further down the hill of lodge red you would come to another pub called the Devonshire arms and just pass there
Was a church my au t Maud and my cousin lived there as they was the care taker for the church and commu city club for kids
Walk back up the hill towards Don street passing that Devonshire arms pub there was a row of houses my friend and his family lived there
They was the renolds family continue back up the hill you came to Don street
Then the pub then you reached Bacchus rd and down that road you came to the council health department
Where they had the public baths my friend postie said swimming baths but it was for public bathing and for the schools nurses base
Like nitty Dora came from and they took children there from depraved family's whom home had no bath rooms and kids whom had scabeies and info tiger
But getting back to lodge rd continue up towards Winston green red and hands worth new red which ran a cross
You would see the prison wall and facing that there was a load of prison officers houses a little estate
And just passing there house the first big blouse you. Came to was the prison governors house of Winston green prison
From the corner of .lodge red along the front of the prison there was another row of prison officers houses and there back garden
Used to be the prison wall along to the old gate house what you see now is a new gate house
Many years ago I had a friend.by the name of Jeff king whom lived down Don Street I would leave him at the top end
But if you entered Don Street from there it would have taken you all down. Behind Bacchus red
Incidently I missed out just before the prison officers houses the was a popular pub called the eagle pub on the lodge road
Hope now you can recall hour pub just yards from Don St opening as KT was a little side road between the houses
