John Henry Bonham was BIRTHPLACE
born on Monday 31st
May 1948 at 84 Birchfield
Road, Headless Cross,
B97 4LH, the Redditch
home of Mrs Violet Jones,
a local midwife.
Weighing a healthy
10lbs 4ozs, John’s birth
was both lengthy and
traumatic for his mom
Joan. His heart actually
stopped beating and he
had to be revived.
Nurse Jones would later
comment that it was a
‘miracle’ John survived.
In June 2017 a blue
plaque was erected by
the BBC Music Day
team in recognition of
this significant
location and John’s
accomplishments.
