Hi,Does any one remember a lad called Clive barber,his sisters name was Carol who used to live down valley road on a side road called Bradbury street,which i don't think exists any more,the last time i heard from him was a long time ago and i heard he had moved to the batemoor estate,he was a Great friend and we used to hang around together at heeley green.

Hi Tosh,The name is very familiar and from what i can remember i believe i had a friend at school with the same surname,i have asked my sister who now lives in West Bromwich and she also remembers the name.A lot of people i knew from Heeley i can still remember them when i see them but as for names i must admit i'm pretty hopeless,i used to play with a lad they called Malcom Farrington who had a sister called Pat as well as my cousin Roy Williams if you knew them?.I can remember a family called the constantines,they had two girls called,Carol and Linda i believe,they used to live at the bottom of Kent road just down the back from the Waggon & Horses pub.

Hi Tinker,Just to thank you for your information,it's a long time since i lived in heeley but i still have very fond memories of it,and sometimes reminisce about visiting my aunts house/cottage across from Heeley Church,and also going down the side of the waggon and horses on Kent road to get my mom a jug of stew and dumplings that a lady sold from her house in the yard at the back,i've never had any as nice since.Still times change as well as places,but the memories still live on,Nice happy times one never forgets.

Hi Tinker,do you remember the keenans? or a Lad called Brian Dalton who lived as far as i can remember on carrfield rd or northcote road?.At that time i used to go down to one of the moonies night clubs called the MAD HATTERS,i believe it belonged to or was run by George Moonie,this was at Heeley bottom across the road from the bridge pub on the corner of Broadfield road.

Hi just couldn't help joing in this thread,we used to live on cross carrfield street with my gram & grandad,i was born in 1948 and attended anns road school,from there i went to carrfield school and finally ended my education at Newfield green when the two parts of the school were split one being the boys with the girls being seperate.my early recolection of heeley green was spending my time playing with friends on what was known at that time as the Docker,this was a largish shale hill covered in grass that is no longer there as houses were built on the same spot quite a few years ago.Does any one remember Patrick Mcgoohan {Danger man} the actor who used to sit on the steps as what is known to locals as the round house pub {Queen Head},i was told this by my late mother.As a youngster i used to fetch my gram a jug of beer from a shop called Toms,which is now council houses/flats on richards rd.The neighbours in our yard were called,Bakers,farringtons,Mcartny's,styles,hibberts just over the wall.Heeley Green was at that time a fantastic place to live with everyone looking after each other which today is sadly short of,to all Heelyites long live Heeley!!
