Nothing to Hyde: Growing Up in Coseley During the 1930s & 1940s by Claudia Hyde
The author vividly recalls memories of so many unusual happenings, including pre-war holidays in Weymouth when a child and life both at home and school during the war. Friends and relatives are brought to life in reminiscences that are filled with both warmth and poignancy up to the untimely death of her father and the day she started work at the age of fourteen.
