Spent many a good night in Balsall Heath. Some great blues parties back in the day, Trafalgar rd and Woodstock rd. And a special mention to Daddy Stones from Stereo classic who used to play above the Caribbean food shop on Moseley rd. Good times.
Grew up in Balsall heath wonderful memories.. Safe and vibrant place community spirit was awesome and colourful.. Good local amenities... Not leaving out the Blues parties, jubilee Street party's, the famous cannon hill pub, the moseley Dance centre omdzs I'd be here listed everything , My old primary school that of Tindal infants and junior.
My Mom lived in the back to backs in Vincent Parade born their in February 1947 and she cannot find any photographs of that particular Road/Street ?Her Surname was at the time before marriage was Robinson and long`s for a memorandum in monochrome to view...
I worked at James Harper stationery on the Moseley Road early Eighties. Good times, Cannon Hill pub and Calthorpe park in the evening. Don’t think it’s the same now though. Never any troubles back in the day. Cycled everywhere.
As a poverty-stricken mature student I lived in Ombersley Road Balsall Heath circa 1973 whilst attending my 3rd & final university at the Byzantine Institute. My desk was a ping-pong table, spacious & wonderful. I'm pleased to say I now own a magnificent Italian villa, the cash for which began in a bookshop started in Harborne - Blitzgeist Books & Boutique. I was outed by Mil Intel as a super-genius [IQ 250-300] & so won a maths scholarship. Last year a DNA test confirmed my unknown father was a Jewish cuckoo who visited my mother's nest in Sept 1942. She never mentioned his name, but hinted he was one of a shooting-party at Clifton Hall, Beeston, Notts. I found out my grandfather provided "ladies of the night" for kings George V & VI & placed unwanted children elsewhere. The only other thing I enjoyed in Balsall Heath was the Asian food & 9 or 10 of the best meals of my life were at Sparkbrook [= Lahore House, which we invariably called The Whore House].
Ooooooooo I LOVE stuff like this! I grew up in Handsworth but any Brummie history is just great.
Was born in river street 1950..great place to grow up

Where is Balsall Heath? Is it in the Birmingham area?
