Oxlley Grove, Weoley Castle 1950's, Anyone lived there?

I can remember the names of some of the boys I played with, there was Nicholas Walton who lived next door at number 4, Nobby Brandon who lived across the road, he had a sister called Carol, there was Jimmy Taghart who lived at the top of the grove & Paul Sheldon who lived next door to him, Ronald Tudge lived at number 8, he had older brothers David & Ronald. I left in 1961 & noticed recently that the huge Oak trees us boys used to climb are no longer there, health & safety I suppose but back then it was every kids ambition to eventually climb those trees!

I don't remember a Paul Rudges in the late 50's but he might have lived there after I left in 1961
