I have just read some of the comments on the back to back forum, its true we had to work hard to hope we could make a better life for ourselves. I have to admit for years I didn't admit I had lived in a back to back, being a bit ashamed, but I know its what helped to make me the person I am now. My father was born to a very well off family, lost all our money and we ended up in a halfway house in Edgbaston for 6 months, and then relocated to Lodge Road. My father always said his happiest years were at Lodge Road.
