Your birth town.

[raleighnut]

Although I grew up in Enderby and then my 1st house was in Narborough I was actually born in the city about 2 miles from where I now live, Leicester, and proud to live in the most 'multi-cultural' city in Britain.

I was born in Hanover then moved to Newcastle a year later, and being an army brat moved every few years. I have never settled anywhere. Living on a boat suits me she's home

Birmingham, had a brilliant 1970's childhood there. I left for uni in 1982 and moved away proper for my first job. Have rarely been back and I wouldn't chose to live there now but I still love the city - and its accent.

 

[flake99please]

Born & raised (until I was 5) in Slough. Both sets of grand parents lived there, so school holidays often involved visits down that way. I still have a strong sense of connection with the area.

Off the top of my head (I stand to be corrected), some of the famous names I remember as associated with Birmingham - James Watt and Matthew Boulton, Joseph Chamberlain, JRR Tolkien, Tony Hancock, Enoch Powell, Red Robbo, Lenny Henry, Jasper Carrot, TISWAS, ELO, Ozzy Osbourne, Trevor Francis. My knowledge peters out after the 70's !

Born & raised (until I was 5) in Slough. Both sets of grand parents lived there, so school holidays often involved visits down that way. I still have a strong sense of connection with the area.

My parents moved to just down the road from there when I was a child.... (turn left rather than right at junction 7), but it's so different these days, and it must be 20-30 years since I was in the town centre.

My birth town doesn't mean that much to me ... it was in a hospital, but my parents home towns do mean more to me having lived a short while in both, and spent numerous holidays with the extended family.

Freddie Mercury was from Angus ?

 

[Mo1959]

Doubt if anyone on here has even heard of the little village I was born in and spent my first 23 years. Dunning in Perthshire, Scotland.

In saying that, I have heard of people from the village travelling all over the world and mentioning it and being surprised by meeting people that knew of it.

Enjoyed growing up there but don't think I would want to go back now.

@Marmion I take it you approve of the Quick Step tweet earlier this week ?

A hamlet in Lincolnshire?

Damn, beat me to it. Only a few miles from me lol.

I don't find anywhere to be home apart from maybe Obermaubach which is a beautiful area I grew up in.

My hometown hase declined in so many ways in my 44 years, and TBH I would be away from here in a shot if it weren't for family ties.

Once the inevitable happens with Grandparents and parents I will seriously consider a full on relocation.

Same hometown for me but I left in the late 80's and although I've been back to the area I was born I haven't been in the town centre for over 25 years and from what I hear it has gone severely downhill.

I now live in a nice little village just outside Macclesfield and will remain here until we both retire then we will probably go and live in Portugal.

Helston Cornwall....
I have no roots as such, parents in the RAF and we moved frequently so never spent that long in any one place.

I was born in York and am still here!, you forget how nice it is plenty of history and some lovely old buildings.

Plus Guy Fawkes came from York iirc?.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Born in Deal in Kent and left at 18 for a year of travelling, returned for a short time then moved away for 26 years but now back and it's glorious.

I have no intention of moving anywhere else, I have found my heaven on the beach.
