Thank u to all the members above for the wonderful old pic's from Balsall Heath. I came into this site on another subject but was delighted to see some old pic's close to where I was born in 1945. I was born in Sherbourne Rd, which I believe went from Moseley Rd down to Gooch St. Well, did at that time, but now has been cut short due to redevelopment. I remember River St. was just around the corner where my aunt Pearson lived, & Balsall Heath road ran parallel to Sherbourne Rd. (If I remember correctly) I also recall Belgrave Rd that also run parallel on the right hand side going down Sherbourne Rd towards Gooch St. I was just wondering if anyone has any pic's from Sherbourne Rd? I still have a clear memory of Sherbourne Rd & it's shop's, a "coal yard" & a school etc. I recall going to Mary St. school, which I believe is still there. Furthermore walking down Sherbourne Rd towards Gooch St., & having to cross the "bombed buildings" on my way to Hope St school, of which I attended until I was 15 years old. I would appreciate any further comments & photos from this particular area.
Best Regards
