You need to put it on some kind of "tree" on the computer so you don't lose the info
Don't rely on all we give you check the info out for yourself as with anyones info you should verify info given.

been up to Eel street no no 16 now industrial estate, and worst of all no blue plaque where no 16 was, you got to get onto sandwell council rob ask them what they done with it ?

some of my family was on eel st

You can't imagine looking at Eel Street now the number of people who lived there.
There wasn't a plaque on the spot where number 16 was? Strange.
Just up the road from Eel Street was The Blue Billy,a vast chemical waste ground where we spent our early years playing on its slopes.
What would Health and Safety make of that nowadays? And the marlholes !!
Anyway Pete what did you think of my home town?

my dad told me about blue bille was the spoil from a pit of the same name they filled in the marl hole where the traffic island is now

I sent one of my cousins to photograph Old Town in Oldbury for me and.....its not there at all!

Just a sign saying it used to be there. So unless I wan;t to get run over b a large truck using the motorway I can't walk where my relatives lived

Same with Henny Lane in Cherrington......gone!

Park Lane, Canal Side in Oldbury....gone!

In fact, most places where my relatives lived have been bulldozed or fell down by themselves
