Staffordshire / Re: Bradmore wolverhampton, Gunmakers and Church Road
« on: Wednesday 04 September 13 16:45 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I can understand the confusion about the missing houses and the lack of logic behind the numbering. I used to deliver papers for Tug Wilson of Church Rd and as a lad of 12 learning a paper round it was an eye opener.
Also, I lived at the Star stores Off-licence from 1962 until 1972 when the demolition forced us to fresh fields in herefordshire

« on: Tuesday 03 September 13 21:05 BST (UK) »Enjoyed reading through all posts last night and was fascinated. Brought a lot back. Lived in Bradmore in 1950's - grandfather lived at 111 Broad Lane, me and parents in Highlands Road round corner. Remember Mrs Taylor in paper shop telling my mother she was far to old to become a newsagent at 45 - yet mum bought a shop in Leamore and we did ok. Remember shops like Cookery Nook and the offy on corner of Star St. And the old lady (very old and very small, she seemed) in the post office with her giant son.Just found out that you are talking about where I used to live, namely the Star Stores Off Licence left there in 1972 days before demolition
I think lovely Milly Tromans had a shop near post office, but that may have been after we left Bradmore in about 1961.
And we used to walk to school at Warstones past a ramshackle farm - and we would call the farmer Brandy Balls and tease him.
Our fruit & veg was brought round every week by a Mr Wainwright on a big and ancient van. Anyone remember him?
Never thought I would reach my anecdotage, but it is quite good fun remembering all these things
