I came back to brierley bonk in 1966, complete with surfboard, after leaving BH in 1961 ,with my parents for Australia, to start a new life ?,well when i got back the place haden't really changed, Except me.I had left behind golden beaches and fantastic surf,But it was the revolution of the 60's, so i was going to get into that revolution. I met up with some old school mates, Howard Cooper, John cownley, and of course all my cousins,aunts and uncles, it was really fantastic visiting old haunts,wich took on a different picture now,i had experinced another life but, the old place was pumping,

RE: RE: Coming Back Home

Are there any photos of where you used to live in Brierley Hill? I used to live in Victoria Street near the corner of Dudley Road. Joe Walker provided the cars for my wedding at St Michael's Church.
