Hi Kenneth In one word NONE, Even some of the streets have gone.....Aston Cross has changed totally, the side were the library was is almost the same, the otherside of rocky lane I thick that only the old TV studio and post office remains, Ansells has long gone, the HP will be that way soon I expect......Upper Thomas Street from Parklane to Tower Road is still there, but there are not houses just the offices of HP, plus on the other side runs the Aston Express way, you cannot enter Upper Thomas Street because of a large gate which is locked, Tower Road from Aston Cross is now the entrance to the HP, Upper Sutton Street is still there, but nothing like it was, Sutton Street has changed direction, it now run from Parklane into what was the Retreat, Wilkinson Street, Upper Webster Street and joins Parliament Street where Parliament Street use to meet Upper Webster Street, I don't think Clifton Road is there any more, the only part of Tower Road is that stretch from Upper Sutton Street to Upper Thomas Street, again no houses, the side where the vinegar vaults were is now the back end of a garden centre, the other side I think is a junior and infant school. I will just add that if you cross Victoria Road, Bevington Road, Albert Road, Frederick Road and most of the others are almost still intact..........Hope this has been of some help Kenneth, a good web site to visit is www.astonbrook-through-astonmanor.co.uk Regards John K Colin (aston born and bred) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth William Bibb" <kbibb@bigpond.com> To: <eng-warks-birmingham@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:25 AM Subject: Re: [B'ham] Albert road Aston Manor > John, > I have lived in Australia for 37 yrs, I used to deliver milk to Upper > Thomas > St Upper Sutton St Clifton Rd Tower Rd in 1950-1951, we used to start at > the > co-op shops at Aston Cross, can you tell me how much of the buildings are > left now? > Appreciate it.
