These wonderful photographs brought back many happy memories sailing my model yacht on the pool, together with my father and brother in early 1950's. Little did I know that a later in late 50's -60's I would be going to school not far away a new Bournville Boys Grammar T echnical School (Cadbury family came to annual prize giving day - I received prize from Michael Cadbury one year).
