Good Evening Folks,
I had come across this site some time back, when just generally browsing for things/places from my past etc. but never followed it through. However, due the unfortunate situation we presently find ourselves in, and having some time on my hands, I've been browsing and decided to join.
A little bit of about me and then I'll let things take their course and contribute to relevant threads and communicate with people on here about things in common, if they so wish.
My parents and grand-parents on my mothers side, as far as I can remember were all from Handsworth mainly, my fathers parents from Northamptonshire, lived in Handsworth certainly from the mid 50's.
I was born in 1962 and lived in Ashwin Road until about 1987. I went to Benson Road school and George Dixon Grammar school in 1973, the first year it was mixed.
I did my apprenticeship at W T Averys Smethwick.
I have lived in Harborne, Sheldon, Chadwick End, Newport Gwent, Spain and now Swansea since 2016.
I know there are a few threads of interest and I look forward to sharing memories with you on here.
Regards Elmo
