Hi Jo123
Whereabouts in Coseley? I lived in Rainbow Street and there's been a LOT of development around there! Especially on the old scrap yards...


We lived in Upper Ettingshall Road. Our house was next to some old factory units, which have all gone now and new houses built.

Too right! I used to love going to Merry Hill (and IKEA for that matter), it was great having these places almost on the doorstep. Oh, happy days.

Oh right, so I guess you're just like me. The Fridays don't come round fast enough so I can go camping again!!  I tell everyone I only go to work for the holidays.

Hi widget,

No, we didn't move there until after we got married, and lived there for nine years. All three kids were born there, so they are Black Country lads.

i SEE Jo123, the whole area is changing beyond recognition (which is a good thing...).

I can understand how it can be Merry Hell if you work near to it but i used to love the hustle and bustle and used to leave work in Parkfields Bilston and drive straight to Merry Hill a couple of times a week. And that's before the Dudley bypass! Saddo teenager eh?
