Does anyone remember
« on: January 30, 2009, 12:12:28 PM »
Hi I am a newbie . My Mom was born in Aston in 1921. When she was about 5 years old she has a memory of a circus coming to town and to advertise this a man on a motorbike with a sea lion in the sidecar rode down Lichfield Road. The sea lions name was Jericho. No one else seem to remember this extraordinary event.  ::)  :-\
If anyone recalls this please could you let me know, we always pull her leg and say she dreamt it  ;D

Hi Vonnie

Welcome to the forum, it sounds like something that would that would have happened in those days. Circus parades were a regular and looked forward to event.

I'm afraid though I have no knowledge of the event you describe. I don't think that in 1921 that my father had even been born let alone myself. Your mother sounds a grand old lady, you should be encouraging her to tell more tales of those days and then relate them to us on here.
