I also remember going to Sunday School there. Me, my two brothers and sister went. Mom and Dad stayed at home. One of my fondest memories is coming out of church and getting a lift home on the back of my elder brothers scooter. Used to give my mom heart failure as I was only about 3 at the time!
 
The House That Jack Built was towards the bottom end of Key Hill

I remember they used to have those overhead tubes that the cashier put your money in and it was sucked up to the money dept. They then sent your change back via another tube - great

Hi Bob, unless there was more that one, I remember the House That Jack Built being by the Aston Hippodrome? Mabz
 
I think you are right Mabz, The Big shop in Key Hill , was Nortons, They used to have a father xmas there , but we all know the real one was at Lewis's . MAX
 
"Thank God for that, I also thought that "The House That Jack Built" was somewhere by the Aston Hippodrome. Right, Can anyone remember the White Swan in Ickneild St?
 
On the subject of shops , any one remember Davies's , not far down from 6ways.
They used to sell all the stuff for the old ladies , and mens overalls , we had to go there to buy our woodwork apron ,when i was at Gower st school.
 
We had a three piece from The House that Jack built. There was always a "Sale"on.
Also went to the "Hip" to see panto's then wrestling then I used to get off the bus to see the photo.s of the strippers when it was a stripshow joint.
 
Rosens on Lozells Rd was a good old fashioned jeweller. I believe owner retired 3 years ago.
My mom and dad married in the church near 6 ways
 
"Always loved that old force's saying, " "You Son , are depriving a Village of an Idiot!"
 
I once worked in "Fine Fare" supermarket on Lozells Rd, Anyone remember it? Or better still, anyone work there?
 
Re: Lozells and Griffiths

Hi, I am also following the Griffiths Path and wondered if there maybe a connection. My Grandfather was Edward Ernest Griffiths he died in 1911 and
his Widow Harriot married his brother Frederick in 1923. Does this mean anything to you?

I remember Fine Fare on the Lozells Road. Mom used to shop there. That was back when we had some really good shops on the Lozells. Like Woolworths and Boots.

Not too sure Lyn. I know Boots was by the Zebra crossing. I cannot place Fine Fare at all except that it was on the left hand side of Lozells Road as you looked down towards six ways.

Lyn - sorry. Unfortunately I can't remember?

But then what's new with that? A short while ago, I went out 'dressed-the-nines' only to realise that I had my slippers on............. Mabz
