The Pelham

I was raised in Pelham Road from 1960 until I left in about 1983. I have many happy memories,and some not so. The triple murder at no 134, about 1944, well spoken about but not well known, Pedleys paper shop, the Marvel comics(wish I had kept them), Joan's the grocer's, Tom's the butcher's, Mckay's the wool shop, F.P.Tool's chippy on the corner. Not forgetting East Birmingham Club, Cottrills Lane, and the Pelham Arms. Lots of good families, oh what joy. It was hard but happy most times...

RE: RE: The Pelham

Hello Derek, my husband David would have remembered the Pelham more than me. But I was hoping you could remember when St Mary's and St John's church on the alum rock road closed, and why, or how I could find out as we were married there 50 years in October. Regards, Pat Young

RE: RE: The Pelham

Hi Derek, I remember the Pelham well, after the war my uncle Jack came home from the Desert and he would go to the Pelham and I would go to see him and he would send me a Vimto outside to me, I can't rememeber the road he lived on, but it was about 5 mins. walk. Regards Wayne Burton
