| Birmingham |
| Birmingham is a great city which I've visited regularly since I was a kid. My father was born here - in Olton - and used to take local produce from the Claverdon area to the Bull Ring Market in the 1920s - he would find things a bit different now !! Later he was a bus driver for the Midland Red. |
