Hicks Family

A Memory of Feckenham.

This photo shows the shop where I was born in the 1950's - my mum's name is on the sign above the shop, June Veronica Hicks. The photo must be after 1964 as it was my dad's,John Hicks's Newsagents shop & that was the year he died. There was also a shop just showing on the left behind the black & white buliding which was a baker where the bread was baked on site & that was run by Frank Hicks who was my uncle. The Hicks family lived in the village from about the early 1800's. We left in 1971 & there are no Hicks's living in the village now. We would love to return but cannot afford the house prices now.

Editor's note: Thank you for the information re the date of the image - our archivist will be altering the date on the database & website shortly.
