Our Kid by Billy Hopkins
In 1928 Billy Hopkins was born to a large Catholic family living on the outskirts of Manchester. When the war came he was evacuated to Blackpool where his rations went to the landlady's children. Even the blows that were to be dealt to the family on his return would not break his spirit.
Billy Hopkins (better known to his family and friends as Wilfred Hopkins) was born in Collyhurst in 1928 and attended schools in Manchester. Before going into higher education, he worked as a copy boy for the Manchester Guardian. He later studied at the Universities of London, Manchester and Leeds and was involved in school-teaching and teacher-training in Liverpool, Manchester, Salford and Glasgow. He also worked in African universities in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Billy Hopkins, author, husband and father of six, died aged 83 in 2012.
