Hi everybody!
I went to Ryland Rd in Erdington (to be re-named Erdington Hall, as some of you will know) infants and junior school. Passed my 11+ in 1954. I wanted to go to King Edwards Aston, where my brother had been, but I got to go to Central Grammar instead. In those days it spanned between Burbidge Rd and Cobham Rd in Bordesley Green. For some peculiar reason the postal address for the school was Cherrywood Rd, but the only connection with Cherrywood Rd was we had to walk down that road to get to another school to do woodwork!
The headmaster was Sir Rodney M S Paisley, Bt. A nice old bloke until he gave me 6 of the best!!
[size=78%]In 1957 the school was moved to a brand new building in Gressel Lane, Tile Cross - all nice and posh. A few happy days and lots of miserable ones! I have a few tales to tell if anyone is interested [/size]
