Bristol Road Selly Oak

A Memory of Selly Oak.

My mum and dad had a shop on Bristol Road until about 12 years ago. The first shop was opposite the big post office just up from Birmingham Battery. They had to give up this shop as compulsory purchase for the road widening scheme so they moved to another shop just opposite Sainsburys. I lived above the shop until i was 16 (approx 1981) so have lots of memories. I recently visited Selly Oak again after approx 15 years and was amazed by the changes. My brother and I went to St Mary's C of E School housed in the old annexe and the new building. What a shame the old annexe was flattened what a building that would be now and all the history. Would make a fantastic home now!
