Yes David,I did to Bordesley Green Primary School. I know of a couple of the boys you mentioned, but don’t remember Mr Barlow.I have a photograph of myself and other pupils in Miss Bucknell’s class in July 1955. Other teachers I remember are Mr Williams, Mr Allen and Miss Davis.

I was 11 years old when the Era closed. It was just up the road from where we lived and was known affectionately as the Little Era. I used to attend the Kids Matinee every Saturday afternoon. There was the original Flash Gordon series, comedy from the likes of The Three Stooges and a Western. The owner was an eccentric old gentleman who used to get up on a ladder and wind up a clock during the evening picture shows. He also used to eject the Teddy Boys if they started making a disturbance.
