Memories of Warwickshire
Church Cottages.
My wife and I moved here in 1983. We lived in the far cottage of the terrace of 3 (1,Church Cottages), in the foreground of this photograph. Our first daughter arrived whilst we were here. However, the imminent arrival of the second meant that we had to move to a larger property. We had four very happy years here. Unfortunately, the Christmas after we moved a major fire severely damaged this terrace and it was 9 months before renovations were complete. This is the only house that we were truly sad to leave.

Mill
Help required.
My GGGrandfather lived in Broom in 1825 and was a miller and I believe his wife was a baker. I would love to hear from anyone who can tell me where the mill was situated or any of the history of Broom at that time.
If you can supply any information please contact me at rogersavage@spc-msa.freeserve.co.uk
Thanks for taking the time to read this note.

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.

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.
