Part of todays excursion was for my benefit so you will have to indulge me here. This is me on my Christening day, with my parents, some of my grandparents, and a friend. I was Christened at Bordesley Green Methodist Church. The photograph was taken in November 1952 in the back garden of 102 Cattell Road. On the left of the picture you can just see the Atlas Inn. Behind that is Garrison Lane. The street going off behind the group is Doris Road. The bus is appearing from Bordesley Green (if that is what it was called then). I, my parents and my mothers parents all lived at the house. To get to the toilet we had to pass through our back garden, turn right and walk along past a small row of houses to the toilet/shed at the end.
