Just love this 1975 picture [just 100 years after the birth of the Blues], From left to right is Crown Road, Elite Cinema [behind hoardings], Snooker Hall, Victoria Pub, Prince Albert Street, Methodist Church, Telephone Boxes, and a digger filling-in the underground toilets.

Tucker Wrights //// its exactly how I remember it as a kid of 5 years old (1962) I spent many an hour sitting on the steps of Tucker Wrights for many years.
My grandfather , father and myself all born and bred in small heath, I left when I was 45 -
My dad was a gambler he had a casual job at Wimbush (just over the road in Little Green Lane) and he would put every penny into Tucker's, we lived in lodgings just below the woodyard facing the swimming baths, and I would spend all day Saturday sitting on the steps of Tucker's- waiting for dads winnings , so I could run down the road with it and give to my mum to buy food. I would keep opening the door and asking him if he had won, and would have to keep running down the road to give my mum updates on the situation.
on a good day I would be sitting on the steps of Tuckers with chocolate round my face, dad would swing me around and take me to the cricketers or the Coach and horses and on a bad day, it would be a rumbling stomach,
Gosh how that picture took me back to those days now 57 years ago , we were poor and lived in slums, but somehow they were happy days.
thank you.
