Do you come from Aston?

[wally58]

I was born in Erdington, at the age of 6 we moved to Nechells and went to Elliott Street school. moved again to Castle Vale at 11 then about 12 years ago moved back to Erdington. My wife lived in Park Road, Aston and later she moved to Castle Vale Comprehensive where Bill Barnett was the headmaster who she told me would not let German be taught as one of the language subjects.

I was born at Heathfield road Maternity Hospital - so i reckon thats pretty close to Villa's birthplace (which of course wasn't Aston)
My mum was bought up in Village Road - a goalkick from the Witton Lane stand (and worked at F&P Birch Road during the war) Dad came from Gnosall (Shrops) and after the war met/married my mom & settled in Brum (Dulwich Grove). Thats when he started with Villa - and I started 12 years later
On the back of a pools win in 1958, he bought a house in Great Barr (just round the  corner from Frank Moss's newsagents).  I also went to KEGS Aston - same class/year as Les Ross - though my first glimpse of Villa Park was through a bed room window from Aston Hall on a  school visit from Dulwich rd Primary


The pools win?  £3285 - that was enough to move to Gt Barr in those days...LOL

I had a girlfriend that lived on Witton Lane opposite the turnstiles. She had the downstairs front room, just twenty yards from the ground. We expressed our love physically in that very room. Dear Norris, is this a record?

As I've mentioned on here so many times that it is boring, my old man was born in Manor Road, Witton, it's no wonder we are Villa.  The last match I attended was the home defeat to Watford the season we were relegated.  That day I was with my son and his two sons, it was both poignant and moving when I took them and showed them where their great grandfather was born.  My son had seen the place many times.  I say the place, the actual house hasn't existed for many, many years but I remember it well.

I worked at Salisbury Transmission/GKN Axles/Dana so I was never far away from the Villa, always in sight of the floodlights.

I was born in Erdington, Neville Road, and you could hear the roar from VP in the street when Villa scored in the early 70s.
Went to KEGS Aston school in Frederick Road, the school sports/playing fields were in Trinity Road.  Then went to Handsworth and Erdington Technical College which was in Whitehead Road in Aston. I always wondered why it was called Handsworth and Erdington TC when it was in Aston.

Erdington was part of Aston until 1894. So as an Erdington boy I am also an Astonian.

My heart belongs to the Villa anyway.

I like subject matters like this as it gives me the opportunity to once again brag about being born and raised ( for the first 7 years of my life (1957- 1964) in Villa Road just up from Villa Cross so technically speaking, in Handsworth. 

My Mom's family lived in Villa Road around that time.

When I was young I wished to all that I did, and lied to all that I did, but I didn't.

Just checked, it was Park Road, off Villa Road.

Snowdrops and daffodils
Butterflies and bees
Sailboats and fishermen
Things of the sea
Wishing-wells
Wedding bells
Early morning dew
All kinds of everything remind me of you
Seagulls and aeroplanes
Things of the sky
Winds that go howlin'
Breezes that sigh
City sights
Neon lights
Grey skies or blue
All kinds of everything remind me of you
Summertime
Wintertime
Spring and autumn too
Monday
Tuesday every day
I think of you.
Dances
Romances
Things of the night
Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write
Budding trees
Autumn leaves
A snowflake or two
All kinds of everything remind me of you.
Summertime
Wintertime
Spring and autumn too
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you.
