Memories of Handsworth

My mother had lived in Handsworth most of her life and so the "School and Church" memories were written by her.

My Father came to Handsworth when he was in his teens and so he has written more recent memories of Handsworth and the surrounding countryside.

Below are photos of College Road in Handsworth which is near to Friary Road and where my parents did most of their shopping.
