Hi Pauline, Thats amazing. Which is your mother in the picture ? I have enhanced that photo in colour, i will upload.
So, did you know Annie Crow/Edward Crow, Ingrams or Ellen and Walter Ladbrooke?View attachment 180731

My grandmother and her family also grew up on Studley Street. The lady sitting at the front to the far left is she. Her name was Joyce Coats (aka Joycie) she was friends with Rita and Renie. She went on to marry Leslie White. Her brothers were Walt, George and Robert (Bob) and her sister was Marge. My Great-grandmother is also present in the picture, her name was Gertrude but everyone called her Emma (Coats) and my great-grandfather was Fredrick Coats. I think the lady standing on the very far left might be my great aunt Ellen x

My wife Beryl Patricia , was born in Studley st no 25 in 1932, her mum was Violet Rose Belton (nee Waldron) who had 4 sisters and one brother. Her dad was Arthur Belton , but she was brought up by her Grand Ma Mary Waldron, I know its a long time ago but trying to help her with her time in Birmingham and childhood .
