hi Robert and all. Laughtons was down Warstock Road, leading onto Alcester Road. Also down Warstock Road was Stern & Bell and Wirax. Does anyone remember these companies. Hawleys was the bakery who used to deliver and we had Hawleys bakery deliver to our home. As you came off Alcester Road into Warstock Road, you had the factorieson the left, Wirax, Stern and Bell, etc. at the top of the road was Highters Heath School to the right and to the left were a row of shops, including Flints, Timpsons, and a few other shops. Turn left onto the Yardley Wood Road and you had the bus garage. Down the bottom of the hill was the Valley Public House, turn left there to go to the cinema - called The Tudor Picture House or the "Bug Hutch" as it was affectionately known!!!!
