'These stories are nothing less than the roots of Birmingham's history, which is why a collection such as this is so vitally important.' Gavin Schaffer, Professor of Modern History, Manchester Metropolitan University. 'It doesn't matter if it was 50 years or 50 days ago; the impact it had on families, on communities and the city as a whole was so drastic that it changed a lot.' James McGuinness
