You talk about the 70s. I could tell you about the 40s and 50s with the back houses and the steam engines the pub where dad had his first pint . Thanks Colin you back some very old memories
Thanks for that smiler. My memories of Nechells date back to the 50s and 60s I lived at 362 Nechells Park Road. I spent most of my time in Nechells baths. My parents were one of the fist to move to Victor Tower flats. My grandmother and later my mother had the second hand shop opposite the Co-op. Life was good then. No television or telephone. I can't remember staying indoors much. My name back then was Patty Taylor. Anyone out there remember me?
Hey Colin. Here's an idea. Do a street walk of Handsworth and have an interview with Mr. Handsworth (Hector) himself! Maybe recall some of the historic things that have happened and iconic names who have hailed from that area of Birmingham. Just an idea.
