Henry grew-up in St Ann’s, Nottingham, in the 1960s. At the time St Ann’s was an overcrowded area with poorly maintained and cramped council housing. The decision was made to rehouse the residents in new estates like Bilborough, demolish St Ann’s and rebuild. For Henry, this exodus to a new, unexplored land represented a stark change, and this episode explores his reflections on old St Ann’s, the new Bilborough estate, outside toilets, and doilies on coffins.
Huge thanks to TV, film, comedy and poetry legend Henry Normal for sharing these thoughts on his childhood with us. He was incredibly generous with his time, and it’s very greatly appreciated.
