Idyllic Childhood

I lived in Childswickham from 1944 -1955 and as far as I am concerned it was the best place on earth. We had our own school, post office, shop and garage.

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

Now known as the Great Chamber, this room has since had panelling added to the walls, bringing it more into line with how it probably looked in around 1600.
