I am a first time poster. We moved into Nechells in 1960 from a back-to-back by the Jewellery Quarter. I was 5 at the time. I attended Cromwell Street school, the Head being Mr Taylor I think, very happy days!!
I lived in Southdown House in Rupert Street, one of the new maisonettes as they were called. A lot different from our old house, inside toilet and bathroom, underfloor heating....it seemed like paradise then!! How times have changed. I have a couple of photos of the school football and cricket teams from 1965-66 and a couple from school plays if anyone is interested. Mr Beddoe was our football teacher I think and Mr Virk our cricket teacher. Mr Virk in particular taught me the basics of cricket so well I enjoyed playing and coaching until my knees gave up when I was in my mid 50's....ah well it was good while it lasted. Great memories of those times.
