Ned was born in Ilford, Essex, (now in Greater London) in 1944 and came to the Black Country one sunny day in the Autumn of 1962. This began a long love affair with the Black Country, which turned into an interest in recording many aspects of its history.

Ned lived in Dudley from 1962 until 1974 and then moved to Wolverhampton to be close to his work at the Wulfrun College.
