First Learning Session
This week the Norman Power Centre hosted our first learning session for the Cardinal Newman Heritage Project. Five elderly residents of Ladywood joined the session and watched two video excerpts, one about a bombing of paint factory in Ladywood during the war, and a reenactment of a tram cash by children.
Following these, the residents were asked to imagine they were standing outside their front door in Ladywood as a child, and to explain their memories.
We captured a fascinating range of memories, including a lot from the Oratory School and from Ladywood during wartime.
This exercise was a great success and we will repeating it throughout the course of the project. If you’d like to get involved, or would like to give us your memories of life in Ladywood, please use the contact form on this website.
