Hello my name is Bill.I live in Kings Heath, Birmingham.
I was born in a military hospital in 1942.
When I was a baby I travelled to Malta with my parents. The ship I was meant to be on
to come back home sank. I wouldn’t be here today if I had been on that ship.
I used to go fi shing with my father.Later in life I took my sons too.
How many fi sh can you see?
When I was young, my friends and I would go scrumping in gardens and steal apples.
If we were caught the policemen would give us a clip round the ear.
When I grew up my first job was on the old steam trains. I shovelled coal into the
engines. It was hard work, very hard.
Design & Illustration by Year 4 pupils in collaboration with Ian Richards & John Eddy at Heavy Object.
