Does Anybody Recall The Location Of A Corner Shop Off Licence In 1960's Great Barr?

I was born in 1946 at 2 The Crescent, Queslett Road, Great Barr, a St Margaret’s Hospital Staff house. Fondest memories are playing in the Wooded hospital ground, Red House Park and off to the children’s matinee at the Beacon Cinema, down at the Scotts Arms, on Saturday mornings. Martin Shaw of TV fame , I understand is also from Great Barr around the same time. I remember the Gas street lighting on Queslett Road, little more than a lane in the 1950’’s The only Off License I remember, which would have been in the late 1960’s was in a row of shops on the corner of Sundial Lane and Queslett Road, certainly near some large but detached houses and up an incline from the Scotts Arms. The Scott family stately home and grounds become St Margaret’s Hospital, part of Walsall Hospital Management Trust. We later moved to a new house in Holly Wood just a little closer to the Scotts Arms, untill I moved away in the 70's

Hello Paul
Most interested in your entry above. I grew up at 2 Handsworth Drive near you and I remember all that. You should see the woods now. I went there with my wife Angie recently. Remember the Methodist church. We looked in there as well. Whatever happened to Dawn Barker. You and she were my earliest friends. My email address is miked.roberts01@gmail.com. That is a nought.
