I was at MEL then, what is your name. I have some photo's of that era. Remember standing all around the hall at assembly calling your name out and how many tables out of 100 you got in the tests.I attended Moor End Junior and Infant school in 1945-1950 ish. Miss Hunt was the headteacher. Mr. Hickman and Mr. Davies were teachers there. I have just acquired a postcard of the school taken by Geo. L. Grigg.

Erdington Parish Church a couple of years ago, and Micky Coopers house, I believe is the right hand side of this semi.I always remember they had a cherry tree in their back garden, and when it was in ripe fruit we used to go around and gorge ourselves. His Mom used to scold us saying the only time she ever saw us was when the cherries were ripe. Things you remember. !!!!!Hi
I remember Miss Hallback, however I never know Miss Hunt was a Gertrude Kate. I also remember the name Miss March. Mickey lived at 110 Beeches Drive I think. Phillip Payne is no relation. My husband went to Princess Orphange infant, Boldmer Juniors and then onto Bishop Vesey. We met in Erdington Church Yard! I suppose you know that the church was badly burned a few years ago. They have taken a long time to renovate with a lot of messing around and the elder members of the congregation are not happy.
Phillip Potter used to live near Dare Road, do you remember him. He was very small even smaller than myself and used to call for me to go to school, I lived in Church Road so it was rather a long walk for him. One day I was running into the school toilets and he was running out and we bumped into one another he gave me the most awful black eye and I must admit that Miss Hunt and Mr. Hickman were very kind to me that day!!
Bye for now,
Jean
