Below Tamworth Castle - Ivis, June and Erica
Tamworth was where my mother was brought up and spent her early years, her parents, (my grand parents) stayed there all there lives with many of our relatives, perticularly her sister and her children.
Ivis left school officialy when she was 1 but probably had not been attending since she was 12. Her paid work was working for the coal merchant based at the wharf in Kettlebrook,
we also had a aunt who lived in a small terraced house just in front of the wharf who we used to go and see when waiting to catch the bus to see June and her family.
During this period Ivis was strongley involved in the local youth club and became involved in helping to run activities and eventualy she was being sent on courses to become a youth leader.
