Bristol Road Selly Oak 1950's

A Memory of Selly Oak.

I was born in Selly Oak hospital in 1951. My name is Christine - father, William Hughes, mother Barbara Garrett. I have an elder brother, Terrence Hughes born 1949. We live 1 back of 595 Bristol Road, where the Aldi is now. My mother worked at the Ariel and many other places in and around Selly Oak. She was also a bus conductress at Selly Oak bus garage. We used to play in the park in George Road and in the grounds of the University. I went to Tiverton Road school. We also went to a working mans club called Elliotts club I think it was in Frederick Road. I can remember going to a school with a girl we called Bunty. Does anybody recall who we are, it would be great to hear from you. Also my Auny Polly ran the cafe next to the outdoor on the Bristol Road in Selly Oak. Names I also remember are Jones, Pridden, Bowman, Grainger, Proffit (Jean & Harry).
