There seems to have been, generally speaking, a train of thought prevalent in schools, that all young boys would end up in some form of engineering or factory type work. It didn't help me.
Similarly when moving to Devon, at 16 year of age, I found, again generally speaking, that most boys were assumed to go into the navy or fishing industry.

Grab your flatcap and don your finest threads for a night of fun and revelry as you step into the smoky underworld of the 1920s. Explore the Museum’s streets and alleys and encounter some of Birmingham’s most notorious gangs.
