Re: Black Country Ride No 9 - The Rowley Hills

Hi Dennis Yet more memories stirred here!! I often went walking on the hills with my grandfather who lived nearby and remember us visiting your grandparents' house up on the hill.

Re: Black Country Ride No 6 - Whiteheath and Blackheath

This really is getting close to home .... that rural stile is right next to what was my parents' front-gate for nearly 60 years!! I think I'd better apologise in advance for what is inevitably going to be an avalanche of nostalgia, please bear with me! Richards Close was Oldbury's first post-war hou...
