Brought up in a large family living in a council house in the Stechford
area of postwar Birmingham, David Prosser’s childhood was not easy, he
knew hardships and hunger, wearing worn out clothes and pumps with holes
in. But, along with his best friend Trevor, David enjoyed the freedom
of his youth with nearby fields, trees to climb, a river to play in and
lots of places to explore. Times were hard so they did anything they
could to make money: running errands for neighbours, carrying bags of
coal on their backs, spending many hours on the tip collecting scrap
metal and collecting rags from door to door to sell for pennies. Just
two Brummie lads getting by on their wits trying to earn enough to pay
for sweets, trips to the swimming baths and the cinema.
