Lyn - that's an amazing photograph. I used to live in Cato Street North just past the bridge. On the left is a bus stop, my dad wouldn't get off the bus there, he would stand on the plarform at the rear of the bus and jump off nearer to the house............. Thanks for the memory Lyn. Mabz

Hi Mayfield
Have you seen this photo, its Cato St North c1956. It looks to be at the junction of Nechells Place.
I used to work in Cato St North c1963 at that big tall building that everybody photographs now. I worked in the tube bending shop I think the firm was called Chance's.

Great photograph Phil, one of the shops was a motor cycle shop if my memory serves me well?
Lyn - I went to Bloomsbury Street School but lived in Cata Street North. As you can see from the photograph our house in the shaddow of the building that Phil is talking about. On the photograph below, my house was next door to the house on the right (that house belonged to Mrs Hill). Mabz

LOL........ it was an outdoor actually Lyn. My dad used to send me to get a pint (could have been half a pint?) of Mild in a pop bottle from there - that is when I sampled my first sip of beer............... Mabz

your photo of the Albion Vaults brought a smile to my lips, with outside benches can you imagine anybody wanting to sit outside there back in the 50's & 60's with the fragrant aroma of the gasworks over the road and the lorries & number 8 buses negotiating that junction.

Very interesting thread this, I was born within the smell of the gas works in Devon Street, my grandfather had a coal merchants in Saltley Rd.
The business was sold just prior to war breaking out, the family name is Clutterbuck. You can take the boy out of Birmingham, but you can"t take Birmingham out of the boy.
