Bilston Born
I was born in Bilston at my granny's house although we moved to Tipton when I was 6 but I spent most of my life around the area and have fond memories of Bilston market (the old one), it was magical when I was small. I was born in Moxley, my granny's house was behind the Quasi Arc factory (not sure of the spelling), it became the BOC, and my mom and auntie worked there. As an adult I went to the music festivals in Hickman Park. My nan lived in Wednesbury and I remember walking with her to the Hickmans bakery to get fresh bread. My auntie still lives in Tettenhall. I moved to Nottingham 9 years ago and I love it here but I like to browse my homeland.

RE: RE: Bilston Born
Dear Christine
I have been researching Quasi-Arc and came across your memory.
I work for a firm of solicitors and one of our clients worked for Quasi-Arc. We are in need of a witness for the type of work carried out in the factory. I was wondering whether you would be able to help me out or whether your auntie would be able to give details.
Thanks
Daniel
