BOOK:MEMORY LANE BY HILDA MOSS
« on: January 22, 2009, 03:54:07 PM »
I have a copy of this book from ebay,it is a Library discard.

It is about the memories of a young girl around the first world war in Moseley.

Hilda writes a wonderful autobiography,I have tried to google her but can;t find much information.

The book is not dated.

Hilda is middle class and her memories do not include hardship,just how life was for her at that time.

At the beginning of the book she writes

Memory began in the old house at Highgate,Birmingham,171 Moseley road.It was a house long since bulldozed,but vivid still in my dreams,and more real than any other place in my life became,real as the people who occupied it with me.

I think a lot of us feel that about our childhood homes.

Anybody else read this book?

I would like to share some of it but not sure about the copyright. :)

Phil

It looks as they demolished 171 Moseley Rd to make way for the Alhambra Cinema. You are right about copyright its a tricky thing, its certainly a lasts for a longer time on the written word than it does on photo's that do not belong to a protected collection.

I'm sure that if you only copy extracts and you give the publisher and author a credit you will be OK, but don't sue me if I am wrong.
