Hi everyone
Im brummie born and bred and oh so proud! Born at home (Caldwell Rd/Saltley) moved from there when i was five years old to 159 Sheldon Heath Rd. Me and my dad planted the conifer in the front garden which i believe is still there:) Attended Blakenhale infant and junior school. Then moved to Partridge Rd/Yardley. Before they built Fairlawns close at the back. The Ridgemere social club was the back of our house. A small carpark was shared access for the club and the roads garages located at the back. But unless you know the social club specifically you wouldnt even know it was there. Had 8 great years at Partridge Rd but moved out of my parents house and just around the corner to Averill Rd, off Sedgemere Rd. The Dovecote pub wasnt my local (hated the place) the Chestnut Tree was my fav local. Alas, both are gone now....
Moved on to Moat Lane/Yardley. Nice house. Then Preston Rd/Yardley. Then Boyne Rd/Sheldon. Probs my fav house (actually its a bungalow) And finally im now residing in a quiet pleasant little close in Chelmsley wood. Im a huge aircraft geek. Especially ww2 aircraft and so proud of our vital history, ie: the 20,000 + Spitfires built at Castle Brom. As well as many sub factories and businesses making parts etc....
Just wanted to say hi to everyone and welcome to chat/write.
Sincerely Michael
