This was the cottage that my mum grew up in. She had to move to Wolverhampton in the 1930s because there was no work for girls on Clee Hill. I have wonderful memories of Clee Hill in the 1950s and 60s when we used to visit my gran and grandad, aunts, uncles and cousins. I can remember wild primroses, water cress growing wild in the stream, snow several feet deep, the derelict quarry, the journey from Wolverhampton which took 3 or 4 hours from Wolverhampton, the bus from Kidderminster struggling as it climbed Hopton Bank, but most of all the lovely people. Happy memories and happy days!
