Mitchells And Butlers Playing Fields
A Memory of Smethwick.
As I lived in Raglan Road at the time my memories are:
Of heading over the road to Mitchells and Butlers playing fields, a green strip that ran alongside of the brewery, and lying in the grass. I thought it was great, a green space all to myself, as Victoria Park and the Sandpark were a fair distance away to a 5 year old. Then came the snow of 1947 and my sister and I going to the canal wharf to fill up the old pram with coke, trudging back home in the snow, it was great. Then there was the lady that lived in Wills Street ,she always went on holiday and came back with apples and made toffee apples, they were great too. We may have had few mod cons, but we were happy.
