My father tells me he was born in an old army hut in Perry Barr in 1948 and as a young child can remember using the park as his garden to play in. Anybody confirm this? And/Or why people lived in these. Did they have to have fmily in the army or were they used as emergency housing for the homeless? He remembers there being a stove in the centre of the hut which they would gather around to keep warm! I cannot find any reference to this online but he is adamant that this is where he spent his early years!
