A Memory of Olton.

I have fond memories of marching up to St. Margarets Church from St. Margarets Junior and infant school, Richmond Rd. in the sixties and early seventies. We had to hold hands, and the operation of crossing the Warwick Road safely was a major one involving the best efforts of all the staff of the school.

I have lived away for the best part of a quarter of a century now and in fact reside in Madrid; however I had to return for a while on family business earlier this year. I am sad to say Solihull no longer seems the golden place of memory. I was shocked by the impersonality and consumerism of the town.
