A thought!
This film was made in 1961, some 51 years ago. Assuming all the kids were around 8/10/12 years old, the probability is that most of these people are still alive and kicking!!!!!!!
How wonderful is that.......

Hi Ray, I think the three cornered tower block on the right is South Tower, Little Hall Road,Duddeston. I think the spire in the background is the library on what is now Nechells Parkway/Saltley Road Roundabout.

Ray
I think Joe has got the right location with reference to photo #5 But the tower is that of Loxton St school abd the white building to the left would be The Swan public house on the corner of Bloomsbury St and Loxton St. I would say the photo was tahen from roughly where Goodwin and Heneage St used to meet before demolition.
