One of my major regrets is in the early 60s I worked in Birmingham and being interested in guns and their manufacture I visited what was left of Birminghams gun quarter on a number of occasions. I remember walking down Price street and Lower Loveday street where there were still two story buildings containing workshops and outside the entrance doors to the buildings where name plates one on top of the other each plate proclaiming who and what was their trade and the regret I never took any photographs of the name plates or the streets.


The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
