Great Barr Revisited

[@grahamedwards9920]

Oh dear my patch! Lived in Hawthorn Rd, Cardinal Wiseman School in the 60’s - Brooklyn Tech after that. Golden Hind my favourite pub for a while in the mid 70’s. Finally we moved away in 1986 but that area is still “home”. Thanks so much for sharing.

BORN , 1941 IN BRUM. MOVED ALL OVER THE PLACE, INCLUDING MELVERLY GROVE, JUST OFF THE KINGSTANDING ROAD, I THOUGHT YOU WERE HEADING THAT WAY, INSTEAD OF DOWN GOODWAY. THE ''GOLDEN HIND' WAS ME DADS FAVOURITE PUB, POST WAR. ENJOYED THIS RIDE A LOT. HOW ATTRACTIVE THE VARIOUS HOUSE STYLES STILL LOOK, BUILT BETWEEN THE WARS. AND I'M SO GLAD THE TREES STILL DECORATE THE AREA.AND WITH FAR MORE POSH CARS, THAN WHEN I WAS A KID.

If you realise something this is 12 years ago, compare the cars, the amount of luxary cars on the streets now compared to then is baffling. It reallly shows the impact of social media on the world. All you need is a german car and a instgram account and the foundations of a false image is created.
