My Home Town
A bit before my time, but I was born and bred in Bidford. The old Falcon Inn, in the background, I lived round the corner from there. Had a wonderful childhood in Bidford, alas I left to join the army in 1977 and only manage to go back on visits to my dad, who still lives in the same street. Not in shot on the left, is the Bulls Head pub where he was born.. Great memories of a great little place.
My HOME TOWN
The war memorial, the bank, the chemists and just in shot on the right is The Bulls Head which ran in my family for 3 generations My dad was born there and my gran, then my uncle ran it for years... Great memories of pub outings and Christmas mornings after church... I know this photo is before my time but all that's different are the cars.
My Home Town
Sweetzers shop on the right - used to get our ice cream and sweets from there on Saturday nights after seeing Aston Villa in Birmingham. Dad would always treat us with fish and chips, ice cream and some bon bons .. great days. Just before the shop on the right is the entrance for the village library. Mum, my sister and me would get books from there once a week .. life seemed so simple back then.. Great times.
Once my Home
I lived here for two years in 1941/42. My father rented it from Mrs Switzer who owned Bell Court. I was ten years old and together with my parents was escaping the Birmingham bombing. I used to fish from that very unstable veranda. We later rented a home on Grange Road in Bidford.
