My Mom and Dad always used to take me to see Santa at Lewis's. Always used to love the Christmas parties both my Mom and Dad's works used to have for the kids.

I always look at old videos of Birmingham city centre to see if I am in any without realising I was being filmed at the time!
Seeing this really does bring back old, and generally happy memories of when I was growing up and going into town, now sadly gone and will never be the same again.

At that time, all those factories in Aston attracted so many people over from Ireland for work including my parents who also ended up buying a nice house in Little Oaks Rd.
