Gone, but not forgotten.
Hi Lyn
Stanley Road is at the bottom of the hill on Nechells Park Rd it runs from there to Mount Street. It was the site of Park House, formally known as Nechells Park. After the house was demolished the grounds were converted into a park which still exists today. It has become known locally as The Old Lady's Park. I have a photo of the house if you want it, but sorry no photo of Stanley Street.

Afternoon Lyn,
Our doctors was on the corner of Nechells Park Road and Stanley Road,
Dr.Davies, a huge house surrounded by trees, and the entrance to the surgery was in Stanley Road up a few steps if my memory serves me right.
Apart from that I have no other memory, he was a kindly, friendly doctor, not frightening at all to a 6 year old lad,(me).......
