I knew Nechells like the back of my hand, (lived in Cromwell Street) only Park Lane I knew was Aston.
hi jean;
hope you are bth well; as i am;
on the subject of park lane nechells there was never a park lane as correctly you and other friends on our forum
have said ; but i can only say that your friend is slightly confused i suspect he his by calling rocky lane park lane;
because as we all know park lane was from the x up to six ways and rocky lane was from the golden cross up to nechells
and that lead the way to nechells ; and on that subject ; way back in time when you went down rocky lane heading towards
nechells and meaning the old nechells route long before demolitions of any kind and you went up the hill just passing
T I Tubes ltd ; and passing charles henry st up under the bridge when the old houses was there along with thehouses and the coffee shop which was un b the jelfs was there thats wher the boundry changed this was where or just passing the rupert pub they built
as there was no pub there orinionaly only the BRS SERVICES [ PARCEL SERVICES ] so what i am saying is at that point the sign for the change of the district ws met there by the sign stating you are going into nechells boundry even then you are just reached the change from rocky lane
transformed to nechells park rd at the islan

hI GUYS AND CHOCKS
He as mentionion cook street which as we all know is nechells park rd ;as i have said he is getting confused with rocky lane
which runs concurrently coming down from six ways aston and crossing aston cross which them becomes rocky lane as we all know
that in turn passes the nechells park rd as we all knew ;there is not a another park lane within that circle ; but the only conclusion i can come up with is possible the nearest coming on to nechells park rd and rocky lane would have been park street which runs down the back of sandy lane up by the juction of rupert street and almost joined nechells park rd and mixed with rocky lane as i am sure like most of yu have said nechells never had park lane
altertive would have been in his mind possible aston church rd ; is in is mind so living in cook stret would be the only souloution ;of possibilitys
unless i have myself have got a memory problem; which i do not beleive i have thats for certain ;
best wishes astonian;

Many Thank's Toast.
That's exactly what my friend was looking for. I spoke to him last night and he confirms that that was the place. He was begining to doubt his own memory because no one else remembered the place. My friend lived in the "Chippy" on Nechells Park Rd (corner of Crompton Rd) and he said that he remembers walking down Elliot St to go to a little youth club run by the Church. He always knew it as "Ebanezers". Seems his memory is OK after all.
