Ten Bob an Hour

D

Dionysius//88

master brummie
This is my first book to recommend its an autobiography of Steve Phillips born in Chilton Road Yardley Wood in 1946, he goes on to tell us about leaving school and getting a job at Thomas Haddon & Stokes Digbeth. Starting work in 1959 until achieving his goal of the top rate of ten bob and finishing his time in 1965 . then getting married and moving to the new estate at Castle Bromwich , the retiring in 2016 and moving to Cyprus. The recollections of life in the factory quite funny .

NB I have to thank a member of the forum for telling me about this book
