We also have some top ...

Here's me aged 14 in 1962 in an outfit I made at school in my needle work class. It was a fringed top and pencil skirt made in black glazed cotton with pink and purple shapes. I though I was the cat's whiskers - and thin! Mind you that was a good thing when Twiggy lead the fashion scene, I was ...

Life on the streets of Saltley was never going to be normal. I realised this early on in life watching mum, face streaked with coal dust like a Brummie Mrs Jolson, marching down our road of terraces towards the bookies.She was after delivering a vital message to dad, who was a trifle mortified at the apparition that appeared at the ...
