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.

Sophia Oliver


In this picture we are all family. As you can see we are a very multicultural family. All the younger girls are first cousins and the older ladies are sisters. Our Nanny was born in the Himalayas and was brought up in Assam where she met our Grandad. He was Irish and they married and came back to UK. But not Birmingham, Newcastle. They moved to Birmingham to work on coal mines around 20 years after. My father's dad was brought up in Jamaica. He is Chinese Jamaican and my Grandad owned Fenkys Pattys in Hockley. My Nanny Fay was Jamaican. So, me Sophia cara, I feel one of a kind when I need to tick the box about my nationality, there isn't a box for me..... so I call myself a cocktail full of love

Patricia Egan


Three photographs of the female generations in the Egan family. Top left: my daughter Jayne Margaret Vickers (born 23 August 1969), and I. She was newly born here so I would have been 18. It was difficult having a child when you are no more than a girl yourself. I enjoyed being a mother and always did my best and worked hard, together with Jaynes father, to improve our lives. Middle: Holly Jayne Bennett (born 9 October 1989) with my daughter Jayne, her mom. Holly hasn’t had the easiest of lives, her dad died tragically at 32 when she was about 13. I think her life only really began when she had a family of her own. She is now studying to become a nurse. Right: Holly and Jayne taken holiday.

Graham Knight


The White family moved to West Heath in 1953-1956 from Ladywood having first moved to Birmingham from South Warwickshire, where they were farmers, in the 1860s. In 1948 Ruby White (3rd from left back row) married Leonard Knight (taking the photo thus not in it), whose family had been agricultural workers in Suffolk since Anglo Saxon times. They moved to Turves Green in 1953, 3 months after the birth of their son, Graham, who is shown being held by Stan Ogidel. Stan was originally from Poland and settled in Birmingham after World War 2 with his his wife, Pearl, who was Ruby’s twin. The twins were children of Dick and Josie White, 2nd and 3rd from right, as was Dick, their eldest son (at right) and Joan (2nd from left). To Ruby’s left is Rose Page, Dick Jr’s 1st wife. The two older boys are Roger and Graham Hurcombe, sons of Ruby and Len’s next door neighbours.
