My very first memory is standing in front of my grandfather's house, the family home in Birmingham.
The house he managed to buy with friends when he came over in 54.
There's two things to this.
It's a photograph that's been taken.
So I remember standing and feeling really big.
And I was in a new tank top.
And I was standing there and I'd been putting these trousers and they were pressed and I'd...
I remember thinking, I can't get this dirty.
And I was standing there and being really kind of... And that is my first memory.
And it was quite weird because I remember the moment walking out and holding my mom's hand and she said, stand right there and turn this way.
And there was so much to see.
And so I must have been quite one of those three-year-olds that was looking around and she was saying, stand still.
But yeah, I was about three years old.
He came over in 54.
The family's probably listening to this and will be shouting, no, it wasn't.
But I think it was 54.
And part of the Windrush generation, in many cases, the men came first and they found work.
And this was, he came from Jamaica?
Yeah, he came from Jamaica.
What parish?
