What a tremendously beautiful gift this piece of generational/social history you have done in tracing your ancestry footsteps and foot prints. What brought me here was my search in trying to remember if in the 50s, Bloxcidge Street was then Worcestershire. The reason being my mother and the rest of us four siblings, in the early 60βs joining my father a good friend of Mr and Mrs Duncan, lived for a brief time at Bloxcidge Street- my father too having also worked TI(Tube Investment) until his retirement. A wonderful histographic presentation of passion and no doubt endless research Thank you for sharing. Hooked on Shirley Basseyβs βThis timeβ. Tremendous! By the way, would the person Rennie, be the same Rennie who also lived at the Duncanβs. Incidentally, recently became friends with one of the Duncanβs daughter on FB – will pass on your site to her! Much blessings, and thank you.
Itβs such a coincidence to hear that your family, like my family also have links to Bloxcidge Street and Tube Products which was indeed a part of Worcestershire in the 1950βs. Yes my dad Rennie lived at Mr Duncanβs in the 1950βs, before moving to West Bromwich. Itβs also interesting to hear that you are friends with Mr Duncanβs daughter. I am not a member of Facebook, but thanks for passing on my website details to her, hope she enjoys reading about Bloxcidge Street. Warm Regards.
