Before anyone asks me...NO I do not walk around nude.
Nope. Never catch me naked in public. Most of the people (and there's not that many) that do walk around naked, need to put some clothes on!Damn,no photos then ?
There's a very high percentage that it's true: Experts said they were “99.9 percent certain” the iconic comic came into the world in a caravan at what is now Black Patch Park in Smethwick. SourceDon't know if it's true or not because there is no actual proof.
It's highly rumoured that Charlie Chaplin was born on Black Patch Park at the bottom of our road.
It was land owned by the Romany Gypsies at the time.
As I say no proof but his son Michael has been several times and last visit last year placed a plaque in the park.
Take a walk and tell us what the plaque says! Better yet, take a picture of it!It's literally 100 yrds down the road.

Thank you so very much for taking the picture for us. I found this site that has more pictures of it and the story behind it: http://www.winsongreentobrookfields.co.uk/new-page-38/
Certainly is an interesting history there about the memorial. Was also nice to be able to see his son Michael.Your welcome
Have read that site many a time and I'm also a member of the Winson Green Facebook group.
That's a long time and it's a shame that bad things have to happen. I also moved for that same reason. Things were going so downhill, that I had to get of there.I've lived here for 34 years this Dec and seen many changes,not all good ones![]()
