Nice one lyn Jo's family moved out in 1955 it was probably in better nick then.

Yes SB I would agree with that.. as Jo will know Berners St started at the junction with Farm St and had a pretty steep incline all the way up, finishing at Lozells road...pretty sure that pic was taken adjacent to Burbury St park..showed this pic to someone a couple of years back and he was delighted to see that his old house is the one to the right of the house painted red under the window..
