A Memory of Kingswinford.

I was born 1 Dudley Road in 1939, I went to St Marys infant and junior school then to Penzer st school. I was in the choir at St Marys Church around 1950. Ketley lane was just a lane .There was no Standhills road then just banks and fields. There was the brick works farther up Dudley road belonging to Davenports. I spent many happy hours with the drivers of the lorries from there. Played tennis up against the old barn in Ketley lane, which is still there..My friends in those days were, Tony Fazey, Pat Taylor, John Jordan, Reggie Stokes, Robert Nash, Stan Malpass, Bibby Stokes. Penzer st school was a typical Sec . Modern school, many pupils came from Wall Heath . there was the cinema in Market st. the Doctors was at the bottom of Summerhill road, this was way before that new lot of shops was built. There are many more memories of that time and area.
