Building The New Shopping Centre
A Memory of Solihull.
I was born near COventry in 1948 and we move to Olton in 1952. After I left school in late 1965 I got a job as a labourer with C Bryant & Sons on the new Solihull shopping centre, and a few weeks later head office insisted i work in the office as a site clerk. I worked with John Garratt. I remember the new Sainsburys; I had never seen a supermarket before. I bought Elgar's Enigman variations in W H Smiths. I saw another labourer - Max Ucinski - die of a heart attack, and met another one - a Sikh - who spoke with a broad Brummie accent.
