Stirchley had several "junk" shops, treasure trove and treasure chest, great to look through, a car engine re manufacturing place opposite Wickes, Bluebird engines? The Milk Depot at the end where Morrisons is I actually did a milk round once as a kid, Lloyds bank manager Barry Hardwick circa 1981 where i asked for a loan and got it. Place is a dump really now, in decline for decades though
I remember Stirchely in the late 60s well into the 70s it was great , full of shops all open and a fruit and veg shop that had a massive blue vending machine for flavoured milk .
My mom used to buy our clothes from M & Js a clothing shop for teenagers ,it also had its own record shop ....great days .
Thank you Matt Pedwell for watching the videos. Even though most shops were closed when I filmed there, I could feel good vibes and people were very welcoming.
I remember that milk machine it was outside the shop opposite the Plaza.😊
I grew up in stirchley. Used to be a great place. Nice to see the veg shop is still there on the corner. We used to get our Christmas trees from there. One of the best shops in stirchley. I also did part time work at Jim Taylor's butchers. Sadly certain people started buying places running them down, de-valuing the area and then buying more properties. Now look at it.
Thank you for comment. Tbh, I don’t know much about Stirchley so your input is very much appreciated 🙂
Hey me to!
I remember having lots of fun over the GKN fields with the local children, I was so upset to see years later that they built those horrid buildings on top of those lush green fields! We loved the fair that would be held on the top field each year, the best bit about the fair was the horse and donkeys and the fact that we had loads of fun climbing up the huge white marque that was left up over night, which we children would at night climb to the top of the huge tent slide down the white canvas roof. Very dangerous but so much fun!
We also had loads of fun exploring the old buildings at the back of the old pump garage where we would jump on the back of the milk floats as they doomed down the hill, also very dangerous, thinking back.
I learnt how to play pool in the Plaza cafe, which had those old table games and other slot machines and space invader games.
Stirchley school has chopped down that beautiful tree we would all wait year round for the conkers to drop so we could play conkers!
I used to buy an apple and orange each Saturday from that very same grocery.
Why what's wrong with it now?
@@nikkibaxter5550 I didn't go to stirchley school but some of my mates did. Was the tree out front. I have to ask. Did the milk floats go fast enough to have fun on. I remember waiting at the bus stop by the gkn place and a milk float slowly passed by. Oddly enough it sounded like some of the electric cars today ( 🤔 wonder where they got the idea from ). We gets of the 45 at kwiksave and the milk float is still way up the road. The only fair I remember is the mop. Where the lush fields where wicks is now. I remember them building do it all ect and I vaguely remember fields.
Hi Ade, the tree was at the top of the playground inside the school.
Did you go to Cotteridge then?
At 8:16 you pointed up the drive where I once had my office and business above those shops, breaks my heart that I lost it all. Great video, takes me back to happy times.
Hello Mark Harper, thanks for watching. I'm happy this video brought back happy memories 🙂
There was an old red brick Victorian Church in Stirchley, The Parish Church - The church of The Ascension,The Rev. David Boundy was rector . It was quite a High church it was on the left hand side between Maryvale road going towards Bourneville lane .There used to be Walkers greengrocers on the corner opposite the old baths. Walkers (Zena Walker.. daughter..actress?) used to sell the Roast Chickens on a spit outside the shop. Remember going there shopping with my Granny on a Saturday in the early 60's . Wonder why so many beautiful churches and buildings were destroyed in the 1960"s.. very sad. The Church of The Redeemer on Hagley road, A lovely old church in Broad street on The left-hand side going into town, cannot recall the name now. And another one St. Paul's church off , Islington Row, or behind Auchinleck(?) square. Remember Tudor House , Faulkes Furriers beautiful old Shop building. Happy Memories..
Nice to see Loaf still going. We used to go there a bit and I volunteered at the food co-op that was in the back of the shop for a while. Tom taught me how to make bread.
It was my 1st time going to Stirchley. I found the atmosphere of the high street relaxing. It was sad to see so many shutters. Some businesses shut for good...
At the start of the video on the left of the traffic lights that building used to be GKN, and further down there were fields going all the way around past the road the corner veg shop is situated up to the top fields that ran along the Charlotte road.
And the Co-op is now Morrisons! That was a surprise.
I live in Moseley ....... Stirchley is looking very tired . 🏴
I was born in Stirchley in the late 70s, but we moved to North Wales when I was 10. I didn't expect to recognise anything, but it doesn't look particularly different! Thank you for this great video, it means a lot to be able to show my daughter a place that still lives in my heart. Is Cartland road park still there? I used to play there as a child.
You are very welcome 🙂 Glad it brought back childhood memories. The only park on Cartland Rd that I know of is Hazelwell Park, is it the one?
@@citiesthroughmyeyes Yes that's it! The path used to run almost directly behind the house I was born in!
What school did you go to?
WoW! Its more like the Bronx now 😒
Stirchley was one of the places that was bombed in the Birmingham bombings in 1942 and is where some houses were bombed, I and friends witnessed a lot of strange and weird goings on in a few of the houses in one of the streets i grew up in.
What street did you grow up in
Elm Tree
What about you?
@@nikkibaxter5550 I know it. I moved to beilby rd when I was 3 ( 1976) I did live at 1624 pershore rd for a bit until 1990 I think.
@@nikkibaxter5550 I was looking at some stuff earlier. 3 people died at 27 elmtree road due to air raids. Ada bishton 62
Charles Henry bishton 67 and
Margery Ada bishton 17
@@Ontheroad1100 Hi Ade how did you find their names?
Thank you for sharing your findings, I found this out around 5 years ago, I had been haunted by things in the property i grew up in it was a nightmare. I also saw a lot if things and weird stuff would happen like the TV would switch channels when you had to get up and push the button on the top of the |TV to change it?
I would be attacked in my dreams and i would dream of a horrid scary man and a women who i thought was a witch and a young girl, and I would hear loads of whisperings in the alcove by the front door.
So scary that place was as a child, I even had dreams that i was back there years after leaving, being attacked by some invisible energy.
So a few years back i decided to see if i could find some history on the area, i found out about the bombings then about the three occupants who died instantly, the house number was the same as our flat that was built on top of the ruins years later.
I couldn't find out their names though? All i knew was there was a man his wife and young daughter.
Tragic really, i reckon they did not know they had passed? And we were invading their space?
It was not the only property on that road that had something weird going on in it.
I tried to find out what was on the land before the village was built but couldn't find any info.
We also we children and the neighbours would hear a great grandfather clock chime once a year, it would echo all down the street, yet no one had a great grandfather clock that chimed, in those days people new each other and would have known who had what.
So it might also be residue from a clock that was in the corner house, as it was a huge house i saw the picture of it after it has been devastated.
😊
A nice looking town centre/high street can fool people into thinking it is a good place to live. Then when you move you realise behind the shiny veneer there's a rotten core with very chavy people (levelling up in Tees Valley/Northumbria towns). I'd be interested to see what Stirchley is like now everything is back open again
I knew I'd see bongo
Who is Bongo?
@@citiesthroughmyeyes you walked straight past him he lives down there.
It’s his sisters house. Haven’t seen him in years now. Sounds like he’s trying to link someone
guy on the phone sums up the typical person these days.
Any good in Stirchley? My partner and I are looking at the area for property, can't say my first impressions are great, anlthough I do hear it's a good place for start ups and community initiatives.
Hello, have you tried Stirchley FB groups? They may be able to help.
we are think of moving from reading to brum, cant afford prices here. Have you found any info about Stirchley, I'm getting mixed reviews
@@charliesmith3794 yeah so after some more searching and asking Stirchley often gets cited as culturally upcoming but the housing stock and general area leave a lot to be desired. You're best bet is nearer to Kings Heath side of Stirchley or right on the border with Bournville so you can go to either. The south of Stirchley is a no go all over, horrible housing in a bad state and the area feels forgotten and blighted.
Britain in decline, used to be able to get anything in Stirchley 50 years ago, almost a wasteland now
You want starve though. Lots of Indian restaurants
Greedy council that's why they are bankrupt😂
