Erdington brummy and birches green alumni here. Yep, It's now Ardenleigh I used to go past it one the 914 (now x14) on my way into Matthew Boulton College from Pype Hayes.
Nearly 30 and now live in London. I come back to your blog every once in a while and read through the Birmingham posts. I love and miss it dearly. I truly think it's the best city in the world and the gritty, absolutely unidyllic way you recall your time growing up in Brum is I think what I love about it. Unapologetically a little bit shit. I'll end my days back home I reckon.
Brum is dead. Long live Brum.
