I left there in 1995 for Wiltshire but go back every couple of months as my family are still there. Love it and the people, can’t beat Black Country folk. I remember walking up Union street as a kid before it was pedestrianised, we had a bike shop, jewellers, Austin’s sports shop, Firkins bakery, a butchers shop that made their own pork pies and faggots, shoe shops, Lipton Deli, Woolworths, radio rentals and teddy grays sweet shop which is still there!
