Schooldays
I have fond memories of marching up to St. Margarets Church from St. Margarets Junior and infant school, Richmond Rd. in the sixties and early seventies. We had to hold hands, and the operation of crossing the Warwick Road safely was a major one involving the best efforts of all the staff of the school.
I have lived away for the best part of a quarter of a century now and in fact reside in Madrid; however I had to return for a while on family business earlier this year. I am sad to say Solihull no longer seems the golden place of memory. I was shocked by the impersonality and consumerism of the town.

RE: RE: Schooldays
I also have fond memories of St Margaret's School in Richmond Road. Mine are from the late 1950s and early 1960s when the infant school was new and the junior school was sited beside the railway. Many of the boys in my class were keen train-spotters! I remember the cinema in Olton Hollow where I spent many a Saturday afternoon with friends. My brother used to visit the barber's shop shown in this picture. This picture has a personal element for me because it shows my father's car heading toward Acocks Green! Happy days!
