Well, in response to your suggestions, we've included this nest of items from our own personal scrapbook. When these photographs were taken, towards the end of the 50's, Jo (my wife) was working in the heart of the city, prior to starting her dance band agency and I was just about to begin a new phase in my life, fresh from being demobbed from the band of the Fifth Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. In a way, our lives mirrored that period in Birmingham's history, a time of great upheaval and change. For the city it would be a decade that would produce a great deal of controversy and debate, particularly in relation to the many architectural changes taking place. Above all the fifties changed us all.
