A friend in Canada recommended this site, I had a quick look it covers people's memories of the second World War, broken down into various categories and locations including Aston and Birmingham.

Just read your sister's story Paul, it really came "alive" she obviously has a similar gift with words as you. I haven't read much on the site will definitely return to it.

I enjoyed your sister's story Paul. I was a babbie when the war started, and wasn't evacuated. Mom wouldn't let me go.
