Hi lyn, the only photo's I have at the moment are these two, one I had taken looking down the hill from the corner of Malvern hill road (may 1971) just before we left Nechells.

the one with the white horse pub on the junction of Holborn hill (1965)

Hi Lyn - hope you are well.
I spent many an hour sitting on a low wall on the corner opposite (r.h.s.) of the Prince of Wales, waiting for my school girlfriend at the time to make up a plausible excuse to get out of the house. Rita Affleck, where are you now?
