Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
l was raised in this village in "50 and 60" and had great times,
Now most of my family move on since my parents passed away,
Sometime l come back and walk round to remember the times, but l see old
Ghosts from the past.
l believe my grandfather and his brother used to work in the Blacksmith, and my grandparent
used to live on Salford Road opp the old timber yard.
Now l live near Bromsgrove in another village, but it not the same as the old village l was raised in. John
My name is Carol Sweetzer O'Brien.... and yes this is Sweetzer's shop on the right and my house Bell Court.
The Rileys moved to Bidford in 1959, rented rooms at Arther Stilgos in Grafton Lane, when I was 13. I had a paper round for the Sweetzers and attended school in Victoria Road, ah, seems like only yesterday. Alan Riley I now live in cornwall
Sweetzers shop on the right - used to get our ice cream and sweets from there on Saturday nights after seeing Aston Villa in Birmingham. Dad would always treat us with fish and chips, ice cream and some bon bons .. great days. Just before the shop on the right is the entrance for the village library. Mum, my sister and me would get books from there once a week .. life seemed so simple back then.. Great times.
