Hi All, The various notes make interesting reading. I was born at 12/129 Clifton Road, (our little back to back) Aston and lived there until we were bombed on the night of 26 October 1940. The only bit of Clifton Road left is about 600 yards of the road at the end where it runs into Upper Sutton Street. I was last there in 1998 and recall some sort of Institute at the side of what's left of the road; then there came a large gate (mentioned by John) which is kept locked, to keep you away from Aston Expressway under which the rest of Clifton Road lies.Our Dad used to drink in the Swan Pub in Upper Sutton Street (I think it was there), and wonder if it still there? Regards to everyone, Vic, Kent, UK
Vic, I do remember a pub on the corner of Upper Sutton St and Tower Rd but not the name, is this the one?
