Rebekah Sidwell

This is my great great grandad Thomas Webb. He lived and worked on the canals up and down the country delivering coal and fuel. He travelled on the grand union canal a lot and the butty he worked on “the president” is in the Black Country Museum. As we have such a beautiful canal system through Birmingham I feel it would be great to honour the many families, hard working men and women who worked the canals. It is a part of my heritage I feel proud of and I am grateful to have the love of canals passed down through the generations.

Lyn di Mascio

This is my nonna and nonno. Her parents fled Italy. They had il baccio della morte. The mafias kiss of death. Maria Carmina eloped with Giuseppe (my great grandparents). She had been promised to someone else. They jumped on the first boat not knowing the destination. When they arrived here they were sent to Birmingham where they set up a boarding house in the old Italian quarter. Giuseppe also made ice cream and sold it.
