Druids Heath Estate, Maypole
View from top of Sladepool Farm Road, looking across Alcester Road South to the estate, built in the late 60s. The approach to Methodist Church is on left of photo.
The grassy area ahead was once wasteground, unlevelled ground across which I spent many a happy time, playing and climbing trees.

25 Sladepool Farm Road, Maypole (Our House)
Not very recognisable from what it was 40 years ago - but this is my first family home - lived in til aged 11. Notice extension on side of house (no more sleeping 2 to a bedroom) and front garden turned into car parking. There was a large tree in front garden too - now that's gone.

Hoods, Carpet Store 40 + years
Hoods carpet store, on Alcester Road South, opposite Sladepool Farm Road, has been trading for more than 40 years, under ownership of the same family 'Hoods' - congratulations.
An old-fashioned hearse passes by in direction of Brandwood Cemetery.
