Pocket with a Hole. A Birmingham Childhood of the 1940s and 1950s, Paperback/Brenda Bullock

Reflecting Birmingham in the 1940s and 1950s, this work tells of the games played then in the streets: hopscotch, queenie, marbles, skipping, roller skating. It takes us back to school life during and after the war, to what it was like to be sick before the advent of the NHS and antibiotics; and more.
