I think you mean the smiths who used to live next door to us , as each time we went into the house there was always boxes of goods ready for sale. I recall the Hicks family one of them was Gerry/Gerald in fact i recall them moving into peel st opposite us as they turned up in a flat bed lorry .My family moved to Erdington in 1970 i now live in Devon
 
Topsyurvey , Many thanks for all those photos link brought back some wonderful memories my grandchildren enjoyed looking at the photos and founfd it hard to believe we had no bathroom or inside toilet .
 
Hello. I had some friends who lived in Peel Street Winson Green But it was in 1957 --58.

Their names were Philip And Margarite Peters. They had a son named Robert.

Have not seen or heard of them for a long, long time.

Philip was the uncle of Peter Lee Stirling { Daniel Boone }

Presume this has no connection to the " post " but it is nice being back. Betty Hopper
