About this listen

Billy Hopkins lived happily in a tenement home in Manchester with his large Catholic family. When war came, Billy was evacuated to Blackpool, where he was starved so his rations could feed his landlady's children.

On his return to Manchester, cruel blows were dealt to his family, but nothing could destroy Billy's fighting spirit.

Nostalgic, sad and funny, Our Kid recalls an upbringing and an environment now vanished.
