Sharing Memories of Willow Court Farmhouse and the Westlands Estate
Our aim is to create a picture of Willow Court (formerly Boycot) Farm and the surrounding area (Westlands and Chawson) before and after the building of the bypass and housing estates on the surrounding farmland land.
We want to gather stories from different perspectives:
Those who lived in, visited, played near or recall in anyway Boycot and Chawson farms
Those involved in decision-making around the creation of the estates
Those involved in the construction of the roads, houses, community buildings and the school
Those who were the first to move to the estates from Birmingham and elsewhere
Those who have lived or worked on either estate for many years, including second or third generation families
If you or anyone you know might be interested in sharing their stories of Boycot and Westlands, please get in touch by emailing us at: poppy@wmhbt.org.uk
