Growing up in Brewood, England

My Family

This is my auntie, mom, dad and uncle

This is my cousin, Calvin, who works in Berlin as a Photographer. He is pictured here with our Grandfather's 1928 Sunbeam single cylinder 500cc motorcycle. The bike is currently on display at Wolverhampton Museum.

Images from around the village of Brewood

This is the view from the church tower

This street contains the Admiral Rodney pub on the right. The Shropshire-Union canal runs through Brewood (just a little ways behind the houses on the left). The tow paths make for great running and whiling away time on a canal boat holiday can be lots of fun.

This is the village square. It contains two pubs; The Lion and The Swan

Here is a close up of the Swan. It's a free house and always has good beers on tap. If you ever go in, be sure to say hi to Matt Gibbons and my old high school English teacher Chris Bish. There are two other pubs in the village - The Boat and the Three Stirrups (not counting the British Legion). Visiting all five in one evening is always good fun, and none are more than a quarter mile apart.

Set in Rural England - here is a view across the fields with the village and church tower just visable in the distance
