proper brummie kid
I am looking for any information or photos of Great Brook street or Nanson Road in the 1940’s through to the 1960’s
My grand mother Margaret Killingworth was born in 1944 in Lord Street and moved to great brook street when she was 5 and lived there till her late teens till she relocated to Stafford which is where our family have lived ever since
She Had mentioned she lived across from a Family called the Burks when she was a Teen and they used to listen to records together while sitting on the Wall,
She Also met My grandfather Albert Hambleton during her time at Great Brook street although I’m unsure where he lived although I know it was in the nechells area still but in a much poorer Area,
My grandmother described her home in Great Brook street to be large and seemed quite posh
She was one of 10 children …
Rita, Thalmia, Norma, Janet, Marion, Claire, Ronnie who also went by the name ( Albert Ronald Hodges) and Les,
Her parents were Francis Charles KillingWorth and Hilda May Jenkins
Unfortunately My Grandmother Passed last August (2022) and since then I’ve been inclined to learn more about her family,
Any if Information both big or small would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks in advance
