I was born in west Bromwich. My mum and dad and i lived in Lloyds Street i used to go to Dartmouth park and play on the swings and go to the pools and feed the ducks. And also go in the little restaurant cafe in the park.. before calling to the news paper shop to get some sweets and then go back home with my mum. I use to go to the beaches road infants and junior school. Before I was sent to Sponlane high school secondary moden school. But that's closed down now. I am . 75 now. So you can see how long ago it was. I live in Stratford upon Avon now. Beautiful little town. 😊😊❤❤
Sorry for such a late reply, the old cafe that was in the centre of the park was destroyed by fire some years ago to be replaced by the timber clad brick building which I refer to as the fort or stockade, also the boat house and adjoining budgie cage was also destroyed along with the boat house, no more boats on the pool anymore, a couple of years ago there were pedalo's shaped like Swans but they didn't show up this year, living near the town it only takes me around 10 mins to get to the park, the scooter is a godsend to me being unable to walk anymore due to balance problems, a far cry from when I used to go out every other sunday with the West Bromwich Ramblers group, nowadays I am in the park most days birdwatching, thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated, Mike
