520    A "Birmingham Backstreet Boyhood" is a fascinating 
       recollection of the experience of growing up in the slums 
       of Nechells and Aston. All the harshness of daily life is 
       remembered here by local author Graham Twist. Despite hard
       living conditions and a distinct lack of money, a strong 
       community spirit prevailed and families and neighbourhoods
       were close-knit. The womenfolk in particular took great 
       pride in their homes, however humble, and scrubbed their 
       front steps and swept the areas in front of their houses 
       religiously. In these tough times you hoped nobody noticed
       you going to the 'pop shop' to pawn precious valuables to 
       get enough money to pay the rent or buy food for the 
       family.
