With energy and insight, Bill Brown paints a vivid and lively picture of Britain emerging from the ruins of the war, the hunger for opportunity, the growing pace of modernization, and the pride and optimism that held communities together. Londoners were intent on getting themselves back on their feet, and it provided the perfect opportunity for a boy with ambition and a lively imagination. Born in Brixton, South London, in 1942, Bill Brown was a lovable kid with a nose for mischief. Left to his own devices while both his parents went out to work, if there was trouble to be had Bill would be in the thick of it. Ignoring the shaking of fists from his neighbors, his mother's scoldings, ... Bill Brown was born in Brixton, South London, in 1942 and started his own 'business' at seven years old selling horse muck, fire wood, and wood ash. By the time he was ten he was working in Brixton markets in his spare time and quickly learned how to source anything anyone asked him for. Bill was a Jack-of-all-trades until 1961 when his uncle encouraged him to join the Fire Service. Bill retired in 1984 having responded to a total of 21,000 incidents and saved many lives.
