Local areas around wolverhampton: A memory of Wolverhampton

Local Areas Around Wolverhampton

A Memory of Wolverhampton.

i'm currently working on a university project called image and text where i have to produce a photobook, for this i am looking at the memories people have of growing up / living in wolverhampton,

for this i have created this simple online questionaire and would find it realy helpful since i've noticed that lots of people on here are from or have memoeries of living around here if anyone could spend a moment and fill it in for me

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/5ZZ7887

the responses will help when it comes to adding text to found images, and will hopefully be added into a book which i have to make

Remember the market particularly. Crockery seemed to be a big thing. Vendors would toss armfuls of plates to one another, just like fishmongers do - they'd lay out a dozen plates on their forearm, like a card-trick, flip them back and forth, then huck them to a guy who'd catch them in midair, without a single breakage. That was back when the Potteries were the biggest producer of pottery in the world.

Also remember the theatre in Queen's Square that burned down around 1955/6 - I went there once to see a panto - As my mom took me across town to my infants' school (from Compton to St Patrick's on Bagnall Street, by the Springfield brewery) we'd pass it on the bus each day - then one day it was a charred shell. I was about 5, I guess, so don't remember much more than that.
