Ford Street, Arthur and Walter
Access to photographic archival images from 1930-1969 has enabled me to produce new writing that interweaves memories, fictions and facts from CHAS with my family archive.
Ford Street, Arthur and Walter – starting points
My research with Smethwick Community and History Archives Service has begun with one road in Smethwick – Ford Street (formerly Halford Street). It is a road where both my paternal grandparents lived (next door but one) in their early years and was the location of their meeting.
