I live just up the road in Sutton Coldfield and prefer to go into Erdington nowadays. There is a bigger range of shops and the people and much friendlier, than in Sutton.
I was brought up on Balmoral Rd 1975-92 when I joined the Army, haven’t been back for years, Wilton Market and all the shops have changed. Shame about the fire damage to the church, thanks for the walk down memory lane.
The last time I walked down Erdington High Street, there was a picture house on the left. My grandparents had a café in Station Road on the left after the bridge and we used to go to ABC every Saturday morning.
I have lived in Erdington all my 59 years (live in my late parents house) I remember as a kid walking up grange road to Erdington with my mates to go shopping Spent all my money in Woolworths I used to meet my late mother in Owen Owen in the restaurant with her work colleagues There used to be offices above Burtons then My dad died in 2002 and it was a few years before since I went into Erdington so so over 25 years The high street was going down the pan with many dodgy shops covering up for drugs and spurious dealings I would not feel safe 🥴🥴☹️☹️😖😖🫤🫤😠😠👎👎🏴🏴

@joanne26 it has changed so much over the years.
Lived there a few months. Despite everything of crime news, not that bad
Does anybody remember the club above Burtons.

It's been deliberately turned into a shit hole. Once it was such a lovely place to shop.
Sorry to corrct you I shop there regularily and it is not as you put it a shit hole
I will not recommend living here its not worth it
had to turn sounds down awful music
@@lucywallis1278Love it. Cracked me up. Lol
Get your facts right, Erdington is NOT a town it is just a district of the City of Bimingham and a normal Birmingham Shopping street
@@peterwilliamallen1063 Thank you
