Just a quicky as to who I am. Born in Jakeman Road. 13th December 1930. Attended Mary Street School. Moved to No.1 back of 250 Balsall Heath Road. Great Grand Father Henry Harrison owned Pebble Mill Farm back in the 1800's. Cannon Hill Park was part of his land. The mills water wheel was powered by, I think it was the River Ray, which ran past my granny Harrison's cottage in Clevedon Road. Can remember Zeplins flying over Balsall Heath about 1932-3. Used to shop at Mrs Toombs shop just up from the house. Saw my first talky film at the Luxor Picture House.
We will see how we get on if I stay on this site. I hope that I can make a few friends.
