It was Armistice Day, 11 November 1918, when a tram knocked over my paternal Great Grandfather, Joseph Talbot aged 80, and dragged him about a mile along Bristol Road. What a day for this to happen as he had survived the war.
He eventually died in hospital on Boxing Day of that year as a result of this accident.
Many of the members of my mother's side of the family were tram and bus drivers during the war and after aswell as my Mom being a conductress on the Birmingham Corporation buses.
