I was born in 1950 at 1/74 Garbett st. We moved to shard end in 1961
I often used to go back and visit my best mate who I called Johnny lemon? I can't remember his real surname. My wife lived around the corner though we never met until we were in our 30s. I have found memories of my young life in ladywood and have been thinking a lot lately

Hi
When your mum lived there, I was living at 1/74 which must have been in the same yard. My family name is crumpton but I must admit not remembering anyone called boden. The only people I can recall are the Sheppards

Hi weoly
Just been reading your thread about your family and your father I came from the same neck of the woods as me I lived at the bottom of
Garbutt street it was kingedwards red I lived on your father would have known the Gregory family and the cooks whom is also a member of this forum whom I know
From way back all there years he would recall the big old church at the bottom of the street and of course the local school on the door step
At the bottom of the street where all the kids went Mr Ingram was head master until about the sixtys before moving up his proffesional
Career within the education department for many years I would imagine he went there for his schooling then moved to one of the others at a later age
For his senior years they knocked down the church in 1958 9 years that was by his house and of course is local veg green grocer
Hickmans where they had all sorts of feasted animalls hanging out side turkeys goose rabbits hens and rabitts and pigeons for sale

When I was 8 on Christmas Eve I went with my father to Hickmans to buy a turkey, a cold night with frosted pavements.
