Great photo Bob.
At Clifton Road, I was in a group of mates that included Pete Bennet, John Lamb, Alan Brain and Danny Buckley.
Pete Bennet, as you say ended up in Australia, and I had a contact with him a few years back, (2005/2006), over Friends Reunited. At the time, I seem to remember that he was running a caravan park.
John Lamb I also lost contact with, as I think his family were moved out to Kitt's Green, or near that area, probably late 60's or very early 70's.
Alan Brain was not a Dennis Road lad. He went to Wheelers Lane. He married the daughter of Mr. Morris, the Ladypool Road butcher, and I went to his wedding at Kings Heath Church, probably in 69 or 70. I lost touch with him after his marriage, and the last I heard of him, he was driving Birmingham City busses.
Danny Buckley possibly went to Dennis Road, and would have been in your class, but I have not seen or heard of him since we left Clifton Road.
Phil.
