My brother Billy worked for Wimbushs at Small Heath for many years, late 60s early 70s as a delivery driver, mostly night work, to get the product out there to shops so that when they opened their doors those lovely cakes were there for the public. I was about 16 and still at school and asked if...

Hi well I was born in Frodesley Road, well not in the road but at number 51 in 1951 so I predate the above list. I was the family runner to go to the shops in Comberton Road for what ever we were short of. I can still remember my Dad saying to me, 'Go on son as quick as you like. I'll start...

Hi All, here is the article to which I was referring-my great grandad in all his pugilistic glory ! Yours too Deslittle.

Hi Deslittle, I have that copy of the article in the Bugle about Billy Argyle-if its allowed I will upload it to the site

Wow Alberta, brilliant work. So all the talk I heard was true, his daughter Edith married my grandad, making the Professor my great grandad. My brother further told me a few tales recounted to him by our Dad. Obviously with his boxing skills, the Professor was not one to upset. Dad related a...

Hi, over the years there was much talk in my family of this man. I have checked with my brother and he states that The Professor was my father's, mother's, father and that would make him my great grandfather. We too have that article from The Bugle and my brother, the font of all family...

Based around the Pub Bombings of 1974 it follows the lives of a fictional family from Selly Oak and involves some colourful Brummie characters. Much reference to areas of Brum plus the football rivalry, the I R A, a heist, religion and family love. Some language and imagery may distress some...
