Sameena Parvaz

Picture of me circa 1974 with my grandparents. Lived in a multi-generational home with parents and grandparents until their passing a few years ago. This was taken around my 1st birthday in our front room in Winson Green which was used as a workshop where my grandad and his brother make men's bespoke suits some of which can be seen hanging in the back. They moved on from the workshop and bought a shop nearby; the tailoring business continues today but with my father in charge.

With my paternal grandparents Sabir Hussain Abbasi and Inayat Begum.

Kathryn Mann

Me and my four siblings, one of my Cousins, my Parents and two sets of my Aunties and Uncles, all sat down the steps at our Auntie’s garden in Hollywood, Birmingham. My Mom was one of seven siblings and my Dad was an only child, who had five children together, so all my family memories are noisy, busy and loud, much like the Madness song ‘Our House’. This photo shows us during a gathering, I was only 3/4ish so can’t recall whether it was someone’s birthday, an anniversary or just a Sunday lunch, but we all have many memories like this. A family get together was always loud and fun and we’d end up rolling home long after dark, with a ‘doggy bag’ of leftover food, nodding off as the lights tunnels of Birmingham flew by.
