Hello everyone My first attempt to get information on Cooksey Road failed. I got answers to someone elses query so I'm re-posting. See below: I was born in Cooksey Road, Small Heath, in 1943. I know the house was demolished probably during the 60's. I visited the house several times during my early childhood but cannot remember any thing about it. Can anyone please help with information on Cooksey Road? Were the houses back-to-back, court or terraced. I'd be grateful for any information. Gill
